Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450F.
  2. Combine chopped herbs, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  3. Pat turkey breast dry with paper towels.
  4. Carefully pull back the skin of the turkey. Rub herb mixture under the skin and on the bottom of the turkey. Any excess can be rubbed on top of the skin.
  5. Tuck the slices of butter under the skin and into folds, then rub the entire turkey with olive oil.
  6. Reduce the oven temperature to 350F. Place turkey on a roasting pan skin side up and put it in the oven.
  7. Cook for 45 minutes, then check the temperature with a meat thermometer. Continue roasting the turkey and checking the temperature every 15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165F and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the turkey from the oven and cover with foil. Let rest for 20 minutes before carving.
Recipe Notes

If the skin is starting to get too crispy or burnt, cover the turkey with aluminum foil.
