Ingredients:

  • 1 bone-in turkey breast (6.5 lbs)
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp coarse sea salt
  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 large yellow onion, quartered
  • 1 head of garlic, halved crosswise
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh sage, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

Instructions:

  1. Pat the turkey breast completely dry with paper towels.
  2. Rub the turkey with 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with 2 tsp coarse sea salt and 1 tsp cracked black pepper.
  3. In a small bowl, mash 0.5 cup unsalted butter with 4 minced garlic cloves, chopped rosemary, sage, thyme, and 1 tsp lemon zest.
  4. Gently loosen the skin from the meat with your fingers and spread half of the butter mixture directly onto the meat under the skin.
  5. Rub the remaining herb butter over the outside of the skin, ensuring even coverage.
  6. Place the quartered yellow onion and halved garlic head in the center of your roasting pan.
  7. Place the turkey breast directly on top of the onions and garlic.
  8. Bake at 325°F for 1 hour 30 mins until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
