Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, combine 6 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper to create an herb paste.
Step 2: Pat dry 4 pounds boneless turkey breast and rub the herb mixture evenly all over the surface.
Step 3: Place the turkey breast on a rack in a roasting pan and pour 1 cup chicken broth into the pan to keep the meat moist.
Step 4: Roast uncovered for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, basting occasionally with pan juices, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 15 minutes before slicing to retain juiciness and serve warm.
