Our best tip: Perfect for 4 to 6 people, or roast one alongside a whole bird so there's plenty of white meat.

Holiday food safety: thaw turkey in the fridge, cook it to 165°F (74°C), bake stuffing in its own dish, and refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours. Use leftover turkey within 3 to 4 days or freeze it.

Instructions

Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Pat the turkey breast dry.
Mix the butter, thyme, sage, garlic, salt and pepper. Rub some under the skin and the rest over the top.
Lay the onion slices in a roasting pan or baking dish, set the turkey on top and pour in the broth.
Roast 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until the thickest part reads 165°F (74°C) on an instant-read thermometer.
Rest 15 to 20 minutes, then slice across the grain.

Notes: Perfect for 4 to 6 people, or roast one alongside a whole bird so there's plenty of white meat. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
