Ingredients
- 7 pound turkey breast see notes for boneless turkey breast, bone-in
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper or 1/4 teaspoon finely ground pepper, cracked
- ⅓ cup butter (6 tablespoons) softened
- 3 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon rosemary finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon thyme finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon parsley finely chopped
- orange zest of 1
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Pat turkey dry with paper towels (be thorough). Season with salt and pepper all over.
- In a small bowl combine softened butter, garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, and orange zest. Mash and stir with a fork until combined.
- Spread butter mixture all over the top of the turkey breast. Place in a roasting dish and tent with foil.
- Bake in a roasting pan or baking dish for about 45 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
- Remove foil, switch oven to broil and continue to cook about 5 minutes until turkey is browned.
- Rest on a cutting board for 10-15 minutes before carving.
- Carve and serve with gravy or cranberry sauce.
Notes
- Using Dried Herbs: substitute 1/2 teaspoon each dried parsley, rosemary, and thyme, OR 1 1/2 teaspoons Herb de Provence or Italian blend dried herb mix.
- Boneless Turkey Breast: A boneless turkey breast of equal size to a bone-in will typically require more cook time as its thickest part is thicker than that of a bone-in turkey breast. Plan on adding another half hour to the cook time and checking the temperature every 10 minute or so (or keep an-oven safe turkey thermometer in while it cooks) until the temperature reaches 160 degrees.
