Butter-Roasted Turkey Breasts

Directions

1. 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.

2. 2.

   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.

3. 3.

   Transfer turkey breasts to a platter and let rest 10 minutes before carving.

4. 4.

   Serve turkey breasts with pan drippings alongside.
