by

Prep time: 20 mins | Cook time: 1.5–2 hours | Servings: 6–8

Ingredients

  • The Turkey:
    • 1 boneless turkey breast roast (about 3 to 4 lbs).
    • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened.
  • The Aromatics:
    • Fresh rosemary, thyme, and sage sprigs.
    • Minced garlic.
  • The Gravy:
    • Pan drippings.
    • Chicken or turkey broth.

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 325°F. Place the turkey breast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
  2. Herb Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with minced garlic and finely chopped rosemary, thyme, and sage.
  3. Season: Pat the turkey dry. Generously rub the garlic-herb butter all over the surface and under the skin of the turkey breast. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Roast: Place additional herb sprigs in the pan. Roast the turkey for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Rest: Transfer the turkey to a carving board and let it rest for at least 15 minutes to ensure the juices redistribute.
  6. Make Gravy: While the turkey rests, place the roasting pan on the stovetop. Whisk in broth and a little flour to the pan drippings, simmering until the gravy is thick and smooth.
  7. Serve: Slice the turkey breast into thick, juicy rounds and serve drizzled with the warm pan gravy.
