Place the breast in the basket. Roast the turkey for 1 hour. Toss the vegetables with olive oil and scatter the onion, carrots, Brussels sprouts, and potatoes. Spread around turkey and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Continue to roast for about 1 hour more until breasts are well browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165° F (74°C).
