# The Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Turkey
01 - 1 boneless turkey breast, skin-on (3–4 lbs)
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
04 - 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
→ Aromatics
05 - 1 lemon, zested and halved
06 - 4 garlic cloves, smashed
07 - 2 sprigs fresh thyme
08 - 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
→ Limoncello Glaze
09 - ¼ cup Limoncello liqueur (60 ml)
10 - 2 tablespoons honey
11 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
12 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
13 - ½ teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Pat turkey breast dry using paper towels.
02 - Rub turkey evenly with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, and lemon zest.
03 - Place turkey skin-side up on roasting rack. Stuff cavity beneath with lemon halves, smashed garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
04 - Roast uncovered for 45 minutes.
05 - Combine Limoncello, honey, butter, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until glaze slightly thickens (4–5 minutes). For thicker consistency, whisk cornstarch with 1 teaspoon water, stir in, and cook 1 additional minute. Remove from heat.
06 - Brush turkey generously with glaze after 45 minutes. Repeat glazing every 15 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F, approximately 30–40 minutes more.
07 - If skin browns too fast, tent loosely with foil to prevent burning.
08 - Allow turkey to rest 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve with remaining glaze drizzled on top.
