Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tbsp chopped rosemary, 2 tbsp chopped thyme, 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp lemon juice until well combined.
- Step 2: Place the 3-pound boneless turkey breast in a roasting pan and brush all over with half of the maple-herb glaze, reserving the rest for later. Roast turkey uncovered for 45 minutes.
- Step 3: After 45 minutes, brush the turkey with the remaining glaze and continue roasting for another 20-25 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 165°F is reached, and the glaze is caramelized and fragrant.
- Step 4: Remove turkey from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow juices to redistribute.
