Herb Roasted Turkey Breast

For a moist, delicious turkey, roast white meat and dark meat separately. For this method, you’ll need some simple knife skills to separate the breast, legs, and thighs from a whole turkey. Or, to save time, ask your butcher to cut it for you.

Serve the white meat with Confit Turkey Legs and Thighs.
