Ingredients
- 1 4-5 pound turkey breast, bone-in skin-on
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped fine
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest, chopped fine
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- In a bowl make a paste with the butter, thyme, lemon zest, garlic powder and 1/2 tsp salt.
- Carefully separate the skin from the meat over the breast and rub the meat with the butter mixture under both breasts.
- Place the turkey on a sheet pan (I cover my pan with foil) and rub the turkey with the oil and 1/2 tsp of salt.
- Bake for 30 minutes and then reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees.
- Bake for an additional 50 minutes or until an instant read thermometer in the thickest part of the breast registers 160 degrees.
- Remove turkey breast from the oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
- Carve and serve.
