Techniques
  • 1½ tsp fresh thyme
  • 1½ tsp rosemary
  • 1½ tsp oregano
  • 1½ tsp sage
  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 5 cloves minced garlic cloves
In a bowl, combine 8 tablespoons room-temperature unsalted butter, 5 minced garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons dried onion, and fresh thyme, rosemary, oregano and sage; smash together.
A juicy roast turkey breast
  • 2 tsp dried onion
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp New Mexico chili powder
Add 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon each black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and New Mexico chili powder; mix.
Garlic and herb butter
  • 3 lb boneless turkey breast
Bring the turkey breast to room temperature so the butter spreads evenly, and pat it completely dry.
Preparing and buttering the turkey
  • 4 slices lemon slices
Spread the butter all over the turkey; set it on a baking sheet over 4 lemon slices.
Lemon slices and the thermometer
Insert an oven-safe thermometer in the thickest part and roast at 325 for 1 hour 15 minutes.
At an internal 163, rest about 10 minutes; it rises to 165 while resting.
  • lemon wedges
  • fresh herbs
Cut into pieces and garnish with lemon wedges and fresh herbs.
