Servings: 8
Prep time: 15 minutes
Marinate time: 1 hr to 2 days
Bake time: About 90 min (About 20 minutes per pound)
Ingredients
- 1 boneless turkey breast, about 2 kg or 4.5 lbs (can also use turkey ball; dark meat or combination, skinless or skin on)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (gluten-free if necessary)
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon each of salt, freshly ground pepper, & paprika, or to taste
- 1/2 cup water
- Cooking spray
Directions
- Rinse the turkey and pat dry
- If there is skin on the turkey, place it skin-side up in a large mixing bowl, or a resealable bag
- Loosen, but do not remove the skin
- Season the turkey under the skin with salt, pepper and paprika
- In a separate bowl, combine the soy sauce, maple syrup, and ginger, stir to combine
- Drizzle the sauce over the turkey breast including under the skin (if your turkey has its skin on)
- Marinate for 1 hour at room temperature, or covered in refrigerator up to 2 days
- Once marinated, preheat oven to 350 F, and spray your roasting pan with cooking/baking spray
- Pour the water in the bottom of the roasting pan
- Cover the turkey loosely with foil and place it on the roasting pan rack, over the water
- Roast turkey for 30 min
- Uncover and roast another hour, basting occasionally
- When done, the juices will run clear when pierced and a meat thermometer should read 165-170 degrees F
- Remove from oven and let stand for 10-15 minutes, covered
- Slice the turkey prior to serving
- Serve with my amazing low-FODMAP rice-quinoa and my low-FODMAP glazed carrots!

Very good
Love this simple and delicious turkey meal. It’s great for leftover lunch too!
Sadie,
Super to hear from you! Thanks for your kind comments and review!
Can you use bone broth for the water to give it more flavor and can I use anything other than paprika? I can’t have it on my diet. Thank you!! Looking forward to making this!
Hi Caitlin,
Sure bone broth would be great- we suggest a low-FODMAP bone broth recipe such as ours. Also skipping the paprika should be just fine. Good luck!
Hi, I presume you put the breast on a rack above the water?
Hi Carol,
Thanks for the question. The roasting pan has a rack, and the turkey is on the rack above the water, as you suggested. I have clarified this in the instructions.
I really appreciate it and hope this is helpful!
Best,
Rochel
