Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Remove turkey breast from packaging. Remove any gravy packets included with the turkey. Keep the gravy packet in the refrigerator until you make the gravy (see link for turkey gravy recipe in recipe notes).
  • Pat turkey breast dry (this is important so the butter will adhere to the turkey).
  • Spray a heavy roasting pan with cooking spray. Add chicken broth to the bottom of the pan then place the turkey on a wire rack inside the pan. 
  • Melt butter and brush evenly over the turkey. Gently lift the skin and rub some of the butter under the skin layer.
  • Combine the herbs and rub them evenly over the buttered turkey.
  • Place lid on the roasting pan and place in oven. Roast at 325-degrees for 20-22 minutes per pound. 
  • Once the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes, and up to 30 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute through the meat.
  • Slice and serve with turkey gravy (see link below)
