Ingredients
1cupunsalted butter,softened
3sprigsfresh rosemary
10leavesfresh sage
1tbspfresh thyme
2tspkosher salt
1tspcoarse ground black pepper
6lbsturkey breast,patted dry
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Set up oven so there is only the bottom rack. Add the turkey breast to a large roasting pan and pat dry with paper towels inside and out.
Mash the butter, herbs, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Set 2 to 3 tablespoons aside for later.
Use the back of a spoon to lift the skin from the turkey breast and spread butter inside. Smooth the skin back down to spread the butter all over the breast. Be careful not to tear the skin as the butter will drip out when cooking.
Roast for 90 minutes, or until the innermost part of the breast is cooked to 165 degrees F.
Top with remaining butter and let rest for 20 minutes before serving.
