Quicker and easier than cooking a whole turkey, this turkey breast is roasted in a skillet using just four ingredients and takes only minutes to prep for roasting! This recipe does not need special cooking equipment or roasting pans and is easy to make!

If you want leftovers, you may want to increase the amount per person or the number of servings to account for the amount of leftover turkey you would like. Great in Turkey Salad, Turkey Pot Pie, and more! My recipe is for a 4 to 5-pound boneless turkey breast and will provide 8 to 10 servings.
