Ingredients
- 1 bone-in, skin-on turkey breast
- Butter, softened
- Garlic, minced
- Fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme, and sage
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare a roasting pan.
- Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels.
- Combine the softened butter with garlic, chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper.
- Gently loosen the turkey skin and spread some of the herb butter underneath it. Rub the remaining butter over the outside of the turkey breast.
- Place the turkey breast in the roasting pan and roast until golden brown and the thickest part reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F.
- Remove the turkey from the oven, loosely cover with foil, and allow it to rest before carving.
- Slice and serve warm with your favorite side dishes.
Notes
- Cooking time varies depending on the size of the turkey breast, so use a meat thermometer to check doneness.
- Allowing the turkey to rest before slicing helps retain its juices.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container and used for sandwiches, salads, or other meals.
