For extra crispy skin, broil the turkey breast for the last few minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. If you don't have shallots, a small amount of finely diced onion can be used as a substitute. Make sure to use a reliable meat thermometer to accurately gauge the internal temperature of the turkey breast and avoid overcooking. Feel free to adjust the herbs and spices in the butter mixture to your personal taste. Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary would be excellent additions.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Turkey: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Make the Herb Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt-free seasoning, and a generous pinch of black pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated. (5 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Season the Turkey: Place the turkey breast skin-side up in a roasting pan. Gently loosen the skin from the breast meat. Spread half of the herb butter mixture under the skin and the remaining half over the skin. Tent the turkey breast loosely with aluminum foil. (10 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Roast the Turkey: Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Remove the foil and continue to roast until the juices run clear and a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165°F (74°C), about 30 more minutes. (90 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Rest the Turkey: Let the turkey breast rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meat. (15 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Gravy: While the turkey is resting, transfer the pan drippings to a skillet. Skim off any excess grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the skillet. (5 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View Sauté the Shallots: Place the skillet over low heat and sauté the minced shallot in the turkey drippings until translucent, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View Make the Gravy Base: Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet with the shallots. Deglaze the pan with a splash of white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. (3 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View Thicken the Gravy: Whisk in the chicken stock and flour until smooth. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly, until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency. (7 minutes)
10 Step
Recipe View Finish the Gravy: For a richer, creamier gravy, whisk in the half-and-half just before serving. (2 minutes)
11 Step
Recipe View Serve: Slice the roasted turkey breast and serve hot, drizzled with the homemade gravy. Enjoy!
