Roasted Turkey Breast with Garlic Herb Butter

Roasted Turkey Breast with Garlic Herb Butter
Ingredients
Garlic Herb Butter
  • 5 tablespoons butter softened (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, sage and parsley) minced
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
Turkey  
  • 3 lb turkey breast boneless, skin-on 
  • ½ tsp pepper 
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • parsley for garnish
Instructions
  1. Garlic Herb Butter: Melt 1 tbsp butter in a medium skillet, add 6 cloves of minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Move the garlic to the medium bowl and add remaining 4 tbsp of softened butter, fresh herbs, fresh lemon zest and salt. Mix well.
  2. Preparing Rolled Turkey: Lay turkey breast, skin side down, and season with ½ tsp pepper and 1 tsp salt. Set aside. Rub garlic herb butter from step 1 all over the underside of turkey and under the skin. Roll the turkey to form a tube and use toothpicks to hold it tight in place. Using kitchen twine, tie it around the turkey to keep it from opening up during roasting. Rub the remaining herb butter on top of the roll.
  3. Roasting Rolled Turkey: Preheat oven to 375 F. Place in a roasting pan and bake until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees to 165 degrees, about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes total. Remove from oven, and let rest for 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, remove twine, and cut crosswise into ½- to 1" thick slices. Place slices on a platter, and garnish with parsley.
