Ingredients

3 lb boneless turkey breast
3 tbsp grass-fed butter, softened
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped

1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
1 lemon, sliced into rounds

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Pat the turkey dry with paper towels to ensure a crisp skin.
2. Mix the butter, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
3. Rub the herb butter under and over the skin of the turkey breast.
4. Arrange lemon slices in a baking dish and place the turkey on top.
5. Roast for 45–55 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 165°F is reached.
6. Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Stewart's Secret: Always let your turkey rest. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, keeping every slice moist and tender rather than dry.
