We all loved it. It was easy, and allowed me to use my fresh-grown herbs from the garden.

I have made turkeys and breast many times. This recipe, using all those fresh herbs and wine was not only the most delicious, but also the juciest! Ina, your the best!

I used two smaller turkey breasts, totaling about 7 pounds for this recipe and they both turned out great. There was plenty of the paste for both pieces of meat. I did add more wine to the bottom of the pan than the recipe calls for because the wine was burning off. The meat was very moist and full of flavor.

The best turkey ever! So flavorful and juicy. Spreading the herbs under the skin is key - don't skip that step. This was my first time preparing a turkey breast, and it came out perfect. I agree with previous reviewers - my wine evaporated - I tried to add water to it occasionally but it wasn't enough. Some reviewers didn't have this problem, so maybe it has to do with the variability in ovens? Luckily I was serving a gravy instead anyway. Next time I will make sure I add even more wine/water because I'm sure the pan juices are delicious!

I made this turkey for Christmas dinner, it was the best ever. Very simple and easy to prepare. The fresh herbs really brought out the flavor :
I am looking forward to making this turkey again very soon!

This was the first turkey-breast I have ever prepared. It was very simple and flavorful. My family took a vote and nominated me to cook the turkey for the Thanksgivings and Christmases to come!! Enjoy!

This was so easy to make and the taste is fantastic. After reading some of the reviews I was worried the wine would dry up so I added 1/2 cup water to the
wine. The wine and water did not dry up and actually made a delicious sauce for gravy. I highly recommend this recipe. I have also made Ina's roast chicken and it is fabulous as well. Great job Ina! Your food is terrific.

The turkey was the best I've ever done and the easiest. I am a klutz in the kitchen and my boyfriend won't let me in his, but I ruled Thanksgiving day. The flavors went through every delicious bite. The 20lb turkey disappeared along with all my extra leftover containers. Doing it all the day before and having the time to be relaxed before the guest arrived was perfect. If you haven't tried this one do it for Christmas.

I can say this recipe very much suprised me. I was searching for a recipe for turkey breast and found this. I almost had everything on hand (eventhough its cold now my rosemary,thyme, and sage is still growing strong in the garden. I didn't think the turkey was going to have much of the flavor of the rub but boy was i wrong. It was simply amazing and very juice. I will say i did change the recipe a little bit. First i didn't use wine because i wanted gravy and didn't think the wine would be that good in the gravy. I also was in a hurry and didn't have 2 hours. I have a convection oven so i cooked it for 1 hour at 350 with convection and foiled. I think removed the foil and cooked it for 20 min longer. It was perfectly juicy. I will definitely make again.

First time I've ever made turkey...and it was very moist and delicious. Did take more wine than the recipe states...but I just added a little as I went along. Very good!!
