    I have made this at least 6 times. Each time it is wonerful. I also keep the skin on. I have used boneless breasts in the past. We supplement the whole turkey on thanksgiving, or as a stand alone. It makes a nice pan gravy with the drippings. Not a lot of gravy, but great flavor.

    I make this recipe every year. It is great, I never take the skin, instead I inject most of the seasoning under the skin.

    I loved this recipe. I just couldn't bear to take the skin off the breasts because it protects the meat from drying out. I therefore worked the herb mixture in underneath the skin. I cut the backbone from the underside enough to break it down and flatten the roast out. Cooked it in my convection oven at 350 for a little over an hour, and it came out with this marvelously crisp and flavorful skin with succulent, moist, flavorful meat. It's the best turkey breast I have ever made. THANKS,ELLIE!
