Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Rub 3 lbs boneless turkey breast all over with 2 tbsp olive oil, then season evenly with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp smoked paprika.
Step 2: Place the turkey breast on a roasting rack set inside a baking pan and roast for 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Step 3: While the turkey roasts, combine 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tbsp bourbon whiskey, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 2 cloves minced garlic in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly.
Step 4: During the last 10 minutes of roasting, brush the turkey generously with the maple-bourbon glaze every 3 minutes until the skin is caramelized and sticky.
Step 5: Remove the turkey from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
