– 2 red apples
– 1 large yellow onion

– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (equivalent to half a stick)
– Black pepper (to taste)
– 1 bottle dry white wine
Instructions
1-Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare the turkey breast by patting it dry to ensure a crispy skin and even cooking.
2-Season the turkey breast with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper, which helps infuse flavor and keep the meat moist.
3-Tuck fresh rosemary sprigs on top of or under the skin for added aroma, a tip that elevates the dish for food enthusiasts.
4-Place the turkey in a roasting pan and insert a meat thermometer to monitor the internal temperature accurately.
5-Roast for about 45-55 minutes until the thermometer reads 165°F (74°C), adjusting based on the turkey’s size for optimal results.
6-Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes to let the juices settle before slicing and serving with your favorite sides.

🧂 Dry brining is preferred for ease and yields crispy skin, but wet brining can produce slightly juicier meat.
🌿 Use fresh aromatics like thyme, garlic, and citrus to infuse natural flavors into the turkey.
⏱️ Allow the turkey to rest after roasting to keep it moist and tender when slicing.
