Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon Onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon Garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried sage
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon ground mustard
  • 8 tablespoons butter (1 stick, room temperature)
  • 1 bone-in turkey breast (4-5 pounds)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Remove the top rack so only the bottom rack is left in the oven.
  • Set turkey breast, skin side up, in a roasting pan or baking dish and pat dry.
  • In a small bowl, mash butter and seasonings together. Spoon a couple of tablespoons into another bowl and set aside for later.
  • Gently lift up the skin of the turkey breast using a spoon or your fingers, keeping the sides intact. Rub the remaining herb butter all over the breast under the skin. Smooth the skin down over the butter, careful not to tear the skin or the butter will just drip out.
  • Roast uncovered for about 90 minutes or until the internal temperature at the thickest part of the breast reaches 165 degrees F.
  • Top with the remaining herb butter and tent with foil. Rest for 15-20 minutes before carving.
