Instructions

In a bowl, combine softened butter with rosemary, thyme, sage, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Gently loosen the skin of the turkey breast and spread the herb butter mixture evenly under the skin and on the surface.
Rub any remaining herb butter over the entire turkey for maximum flavor.
Allow the turkey to rest with the rub for at least 30 minutes before roasting, or refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor.
Roast the turkey according to your preferred recipe until fully cooked and golden brown.

Notes

For extra zest, add a splash of fresh lemon juice to the herb butter or serve the turkey with a side of cranberry sauce.
