Roasted Garlic Turkey Breast
This quick and easy recipe is ideal for entertaining during the holiday season. A savoury burst in every bite, oven roasted garlic stuffing is enveloped in fresh Ontario turkey breast and roasted until crisp and crackling.

In bowl, combine, roasted garlic bulbs, parsley, rosemary, sage, bread crumbs and 1 tsp (5 mL) each of the salt and pepper.
Carefully loosen turkey skin with fingers; tuck garlic mixture under the skin. Drizzle outside of skin with oil and sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper. Place in a roasting pan or a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet.
Bake in the center of a 400°F (200°C) oven until the skin is crispy and turkey is cooked through, registering about 170°F (77°C) on a meat thermometer, about 45 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing across the grain and serve with your favourite sides.
