A bone-in turkey breast gives you all the holiday flavor with a fraction of the work, and it is perfect for smaller gatherings. We rub herb butter under the skin so the meat stays juicy and the skin roasts to a deep golden brown. Starting at high heat jump-starts browning, then a lower temperature cooks the meat gently. The drippings become a quick gravy while the turkey rests.

Instructions

  1. Pat the turkey breast dry and season all over with the salt. For best results, refrigerate uncovered overnight; otherwise let it sit for 30 minutes while the oven heats.
