Thanksgiving is around the corner, instead of roasting the whole bird especially if you’re not entertaining a crowd, try this roasted turkey breast. It’s was roasted in butter and herbs and it is very tasty, moist and with crispy skin.
Roasted turkey breast is very easy to make and requires very few ingredients. I used a bone-in turkey breast that was cut from a whole turkey. I will be sharing the recipe for the other half later. You can serve this turkey with mashed potatoes, rice, with cranberry sauce, cranberry relish, and if you can’t finish it you can use the leftover for sandwiches. I’ll share some recipes you can serve it with.
