- 1 3- to 6-pound turkey breast

- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Place turkey in roasting pan; brush with oil, butter or stock, and season with salt and pepper.
- Place turkey in oven, and roast for 40 to 60 minutes, depending on size, basting with the pan juices (or a little more chicken stock), every 15 minutes or so.
- Begin checking every few minutes with an instant-read thermometer; turkey is ready when the thermometer reads 155 degrees.
- Remove the turkey from the oven, and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes (during which time its internal temperature will rise to about 160 degrees) before carving and serving.
