Roasted turkey breast recipe: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Place a roasting rack inside a roasting pan and grease with olive oil. Dry the turkey breast with a paper towel. Rub soft butter all over the turkey breast and season with fresh herbs (or dried). Our favs are sea salt, pepper, thyme, and sage. Place skin side up and roast for 20 minutes. Then loosely tent with foil and continue roasting until internal temperature is 165 degrees. For a 2-pound turkey breast, that's about 60 minutes. Remove the turkey breast and let rest for 20 minutes.
