Instructions

Prep the oven. Preheat oven to 450°F.
Prep the turkey breast. Place the turkey breast onto a 12-inch skillet. Brush the turkey all over with the melted butter and then sprinkle with the salt and black pepper.
Roast the turkey breast. Roast the turkey until the thickest part of the turkey breast reaches 165ºF when tested with an instant read thermometer, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Rest before slicing. Remove the turkey from the oven and tent with foil to rest for about 15 minutes before serving.
Slice and serve. Transfer the turkey breast to a cutting board to slice before serving.
