Ingredients
1 (4-5 lb) bone-in, skin-on turkey breast
3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, minced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Rub the butter mixture evenly under and over the skin of the turkey breast.
Place the turkey in a roasting pan and roast for 60-75 minutes or until an internal thermometer reads 165°F.
Remove the turkey from the oven, transfer to a cutting board, and let it rest for 15 minutes.
While the turkey rests, place the roasting pan on the stove over medium heat and pour in the broth.
Scrape up any browned bits from the pan, whisk in the cornstarch slurry, and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the gravy is thick and glossy.
Notes
Keep leftover turkey in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add a splash of broth when reheating to prevent drying out.
