Let\u2019s discuss the simple ingredients for this easy turkey roast recipe.<\/p>\n

Ingredients for Garlic Butter Turkey Roast:<\/h2>\n

Fresh Turkey Roast: <\/strong>Pick up a turkey roast with the netting on. Roasts comprised of breast meat are the most typical, but if you find a turkey thigh roast, it can be used too. When using frozen turkey, be sure to thaw completely before proceeding.<\/p>\n

Unsalted Butter: <\/strong>In order to create a luscious flavor for the skin and turkey drippings, we need some unsalted butter. The butter helps bind the other ingredients to the roast for a flavorful crispy skin.<\/p>\n

Fresh Garlic: <\/strong>Let\u2019s face it, garlic is the flavor maker of the cooking world! You can replace the garlic cloves with 2 teaspoons of garlic powder if you prefer.<\/p>\n

Onion Powder: <\/strong>Let\u2019s get some onion flavor in there! Onion powder is the ingredient for the job, as chopping fresh onion finely enough for the butter smear is a hassle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Paprika: <\/strong>A very subtle smoky flavor comes from dried paprika. Skip it if you don\u2019t have it on hand.<\/p>\n

Sea Salt: <\/strong>Season the garlic butter with plenty of salt and black pepper. Doing so adds flavor to the roast.<\/p>\n

Chicken Broth: <\/strong>We need some form of liquid to go into the bottom of the roasting pan. This helps keep the turkey moist during the baking process, as it provides some additional humidity so that the roast doesn\u2019t dry out. Apple cider or apple juice work too, or any kind of broth.<\/p>\n
