Natural bone-in turkey breast is inherently gluten-free. However, if you are buying pre-marinated or 'self-basting' turkey, check the label for additives or flavorings that might contain gluten.

The best method is roasting in an oven at 325°F (165°C) until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Cooking with the bone in helps distribute heat and keeps the meat more moist and flavorful than boneless cuts.

Bone-in turkey breast is often more flavorful and less likely to dry out during roasting because the bone acts as a heat conductor. Additionally, the leftover bone can be simmered to create a nutrient-rich stock or soup.

Raw turkey breast should be stored in its original packaging in the coldest part of the refrigerator and cooked within 1 to 2 days. For longer storage, it should be kept in the freezer.

The only reliable way to ensure it is cooked safely is using a meat thermometer. Insert it into the thickest part of the breast without touching the bone; it must reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
