Pat the turkey breast dry with a paper towel to remove excess liquid and place it in a baking dish just large enough to hold it. Use the tip of a small sharp knife to poke the skin of the turkey breast all over. Drizzle with olive oil and use tongs to rub it in; flip the turkey breast a few times until all surfaces are coated with oil. You can also use a brush. Set aside for 15 to 20 minutes.

While the turkey rests, combine the salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, oregano, and paprika in a small bowl and mix until well blended.

Use tongs to hold the turkey breast with one hand while using your other hand to sprinkle the spice rub evenly over the entire surface, including the sides. Leave the skin side facing up.

Pour about 1/2 inch of water into the bottom of the baking dish.

Place the prepared turkey breast in the center of the oven. Immediately reduce the temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Roast until a probe thermometer inserted into the center of the thickest part of the breast registers 150 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
