Instructions
0 Preheat the oven to 325°F. 1 Remove the turkey breast from its packaging, and pat dry. Remove any giblets or turkey gravy packets from inside the cavities, and pat those dry, as well. 2 Place a roasting rack in a roasting pan. 3 Place the turkey breast-side up on the roasting rack. 4 Season the turkey breast. Use your fingers or a knife to push the butter beneath the skin, as well as smear it on top of the skin and inside the cavities. As a rule, we use about a tablespoon of butter per pound of turkey. 5 Roast the turkey breast uncovered in the preheated oven. It will take about 20 minutes per pound for an unstuffed bird, so set a timer (for 2 hours 30 minutes for an 8 lb. turkey breast), and then when it’s close to time, take the temperature of the turkey breast. We want it to reach 165°F at the thickest part of the breast before removing it from the oven. 6 Once the turkey is cooked through, remove from the oven, and let sit uncovered for 15-20 minutes. 7 Carve the turkey, and enjoy with your favorite sides.View original recipe
