Garlic Thyme Turkey Breast

Ingredients

• 1 split turkey breast (bone in)
• 1/2 cup yogurt
• zest of one large lemon
• 3 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 1/2 tbsp fresh thyme
• 1/2 tsp red chili powder (optional)
• 1/2 tsp black pepper (coarsely ground)
• 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Mix together yogurt, zest, garlic, thyme, chili powder and salt.
2. Rinse and pat turkey breast dry.
3. Place onto a baking dish. Slather the turkey with the yogurt mixture on all sides, sprinkle black pepper on top, and let marinade uncovered in the fridge for 30 to 60 minutes. (The yogurt will create a thin layer on top of the turkey.)
4. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
5. Bake for 65 to 75 minutes until done. (I don’t have a meat thermometer, so I always test by cutting a small slit in the meat. If it’s no longer pink, it’s done.)
6. Let rest for 15 to 20 minutes before slicing.
