Butter-Roasted Turkey Breasts
Succulent turkey breasts roasted to perfection with herb-infused butter, fresh thyme, rosemary, and garlic. The skin is crispy and golden while the meat remains moist and tender.
Ingredients
- •2 whole skin-on, bone-in turkey breasts
- •½ cup unsalted butter
- •1 to taste kosher salt and pepper
- •6 sprigs thyme
- •4 sprigs rosemary
- •1 head garlic
- •1 head garlic cloves
- •1 head crushed garlic
Cooking Instructions
- 1.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Gently loosen skin from turkey breasts and rub butter under skin and all over outside of breasts; season with salt and pepper.

Scatter thyme sprigs, rosemary sprigs, and garlic over a large rimmed baking sheet and arrange turkey breasts, skin side up, on top. Roast turkey breasts, turning halfway through, until skin is crisp and golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breasts registers 160°F (for optimal moistness, you will want to cook the white meat of the turkey breasts to a lower internal temperature than you would if cooking a whole bird), 45-55 minutes.
