Ingredients

  • 1 7 lb. bone-in turkey breast giblets removed
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 tbsp Italian Herbs Blend
  • 1 tsp pink sea salt
  • 1 tsp fresh cracked pepper
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • Optional Aromatics:
  • 1 medium onion chopped into large slices
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 2 sprigs Thyme
  • 1 orange or lemon sliced thin

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degress.
  • Pat turkey dry with paper towels.
  • Generously rub turkey breast with softened butter - rub butter all around turkey, and carefully lift up skin to rub butter under turkey skin, too.
  • Stuff turkey breast cavity with aromatics.
  • Add chicken stock to the bottom of roasting pan.
  • Coat turkey breast with herbs and spices.
  • Place turkey on metal rack in roasting pan or over a baking sheet.
  • Tent turkey loosely with foil for first 30 minutes of roasting time.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour; baste turkey breast with remaining butter mixture occasionally.
  • Roast around 1-1 1/2 hours, until the juices run clear and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast, not touching bone, reads 165 degrees.
  • Tent with foil for at least 10 minutes before carving.
  • Enjoy!
