Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 lb boneless turkey breast, skin-on
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh sage, finely chopped

- In a small bowl, mash together the softened butter, minced garlic, sage, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Pat the turkey breast completely dry using paper towels.
- Carefully separate the skin from the meat using your fingers, creating a pocket. Stuff half of the herb butter directly onto the meat.

- Rub the skin with olive oil and place the turkey in a roasting pan.
