Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 425°. Gently loosen skin from turkey breasts and rub butter under skin and all over outside of breasts; season with salt and pepper.

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, rotating halfway through, until skin is crisp and golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breasts registers 160°, 45–55 minutes.

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

Serve turkey breasts with pan drippings alongside.
