Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Pat the 4 lbs bone-in turkey breast dry with paper towels and place on a roasting rack set in a baking pan.
Step 2: In a small bowl, combine 6 tbsp unsalted butter softened, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, and 4 minced garlic cloves. Mix until well blended.
Step 3: Rub the herb butter mixture evenly all over the turkey breast skin. Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil over the top, then season with 2 tsp kosher salt and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
Step 4: Roast the turkey breast in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until an internal thermometer inserted into the thickest part reads 165°F, basting every 20 minutes with pan juices.
Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest uncovered for 15 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
