Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a small bowl, combine 4 tbsp softened unsalted butter, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh sage leaves, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to make a herb butter.
Step 2: Pat dry 3 lb boneless turkey breast and rub the sage butter mixture evenly all over the surface.
Step 3: Place the turkey breast on a rack in a roasting pan and roast uncovered for 40 minutes.
Step 4: After 40 minutes, brush 1/4 cup pure maple syrup evenly over the turkey breast and continue roasting for another 20-25 minutes, basting every 10 minutes with remaining maple syrup, until an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) is reached.
Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
