Recipe - Herb Roasted Turkey Breast

6 pound Fresh turkey breast; or
larger (8pound), bone in
4 tablespoon Light butter (50% calorie
reduction); softened
1 teaspoon Dried sage leaves
1 teaspoon Dried thyme leaves
1 tablespoon Chopped parsley
2 teaspoon Sea salt
One half teaspoon Black pepper
1 Clove garlic; finely minced
Vegetable oil; or olive oil
spray
Salt and freshly ground
pepper

Wash and pat dry the turkey.

Using fingertips, carefully loosen the skin on each side of the top part of
the breast to make a "pocket" between the skin and the meat.

With a fork, blend the butter with the herbs, salt, pepper and garlic.
Divide the mixture in half and with fingertips, carefully slide half of it
under the skin on each side of the breast.

Spray outside of the breast with the vegetable spray. Season the cavity
area well with salt and pepper.

Place, with cavity down, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Roast in the
center of a preheated 400F. oven for 1 hour.

Reduce to 375F and continue roasting until thermometer inserted in thickest
part of the meat registers 165 170F. The turkey breast should be a dark
golden brown.

Let sit 15 minutes before carving.

Makes 8 to 10 servings.
