Excellent recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

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!Read more

Big hit at family Christmas Dinner!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I roasted two 6lb breasts in an electric roaster set on 325 for 2 1/2 hours. The internal temp. of the breats was 160. I... let them rest for 10 minutes. The meat was moist and tender!! I purchased my dried herbs fresh from HEB's bin section and I think that really improved the flavor of the meat and pan drippings. Everyone raved about how moist the meat was!!Read more

Love It
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this a couple months ago when I first saw it aired and my family loved it. We made the entire menu and the hash the... following day. The hash was my favorite, my husband likes the roasted broccoli and cauliflower the best, and my kids love the turkey. We made the turkey and roasted veggies on the grill tonight and it was a fantastic twist on this recipe! Hash tomorrow!Read more

Delicious, easy multiple meals
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a keeper for my family. Followed instructions precisely and used fresh herbs from my garden. Whole Foods turkey... breast was more than 6 lbs. so increased the seasoning and it took a bit longer but crust was wonderful and meat remained moist.Read more

Turkey was flavorful & juicy. Have also used this technique on chicken breasts with equal results.
