1. In a bowl, mix the softened butter with the chopped rosemary, thyme, sage, parsley, minced garlic, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper, then stir until the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the butter. This herb butter blend will serve as the base for seasoning and basting your turkey for maximum flavor.

2. Before applying the herb butter, lightly brush the turkey breast with olive oil. This helps the butter adhere to the skin and creates an even, golden-brown crust during roasting. Next, use your fingers to gently loosen the skin of the turkey breast, creating a pocket between the meat and skin. Rub most of the herb butter under the skin, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. Then, use the remaining butter to coat the outside of the turkey for an extra layer of flavor.

3. Preheat your oven to 350°F and place the prepared Herb Butter Roasted Turkey Breast on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast the turkey until the internal temperature at the thickest part reaches 165°F, which should take approximately 60-90 minutes, depending on the size of your turkey breast. Baste the turkey occasionally with the pan juices to keep it moist and flavorful.

4. Once the Herb Butter Roasted Turkey Breast is cooked to perfection, remove it from the oven and cover loosely with foil. Allow the turkey to rest for 15-20 minutes before carving. This resting period is crucial, as it allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring a juicy and flavorful final dish.

5. When ready to serve, simply slice the turkey and arrange it on a platter. Garnish with extra fresh herbs, if desired, and accompany it with your favorite Thanksgiving side dishes.
