Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Position rack in the center.
- In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, salt, black pepper and olive oil until combined into a paste.
- Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels. Rub the herb mixture all over the surface, getting under skin where possible for extra flavor.
- Place the turkey breast in a shallow roasting pan or dish. Pour the chicken broth into the pan around the meat (not over it) to catch drippings and keep the oven moist.
Cooking
- Roast uncovered about 1 hour for a medium-sized boneless breast. Begin checking internal temperature at 50–55 minutes. The turkey is done at 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part. If bone-in, allow extra time and check near the bone.
- Remove the turkey from the oven and tent loosely with foil. Let it rest 10–15 minutes to let juices redistribute.
Gravy Preparation
- For the gravy: pour pan drippings into a skillet, skim excess fat if desired, and simmer.
- To thicken, whisk 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water to make a slurry, then stir into simmering drippings until glossy and slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning and strain if you want a smooth finish.
Serving
- Slice the turkey across the grain into even slices and serve warm with the gravy.

Notes
Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours of cooking. Consume refrigerated turkey within 3–4 days. To freeze, place slices in freezer-safe containers or vacuum bags with a little gravy or broth. Freeze up to 3 months. Always reheat to at least 165°F (74°C) before serving.
