👉🏻Ingredients list⚠️
One turkey breast (about 1.5 kg)
Several cloves of garlic (adjust according to taste)
Fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, etc.) as needed
100g unsalted butter
Salt, black pepper to taste
A little olive oil
👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:
Take the turkey breast out of the fridge in advance to let it reach room temperature. Finely chop the garlic and herbs.
In a bowl, mix the softened butter, garlic, herb fragments, salt, and black pepper until well combined to form a garlic herb butter sauce.
Use a fork to poke holes on the surface of the turkey breast for better seasoning absorption. Evenly spread the garlic herb butter sauce over the turkey breast and gently massage it in.
Wrap the seasoned turkey breast tightly in aluminum foil, sealing the ends, and place it in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 1.5 hours until cooked through.
Remove the turkey breast, uncover, brush a thin layer of olive oil on the surface, and return it to the oven set to 200°C for 5-10 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
Slice and serve with vegetables or sides.

Using fresh herbs significantly enhances the flavor of the dish.
Occasionally check and turn the turkey breast during roasting to ensure uniform cooking.
