Herbed turkey breast with wine sauce

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Step 2

Rub turkey with 1/2 tablespoon oil; rub salt, pepper, and garlic all over turkey.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine fresh herbs with remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil; mix well.

Step 4

Place turkey in a roasting pan, top-side down (the side where the skin would have been) and spread half of herb mixture over exposed areas of turkey. Pour 1/2 cup each wine and broth into bottom of pan around turkey; cook, uncovered, basting turkey once, 25 minutes.

Step 5

Flip turkey; spread top with remaining herb mixture. Pour remaining 1/2 cup broth into bottom of pan. Roast, basting once or twice, until cooked through, about 20 minutes more.* Remove turkey from pan to a cutting board; loosely cover with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, place roasting pan with turkey drippings on a burner over high heat; add remaining 1/2 cup wine and bring to a boil, scraping down sides and bottom of pan to incorporate drippings. Stir in butter; continue boiling until sauce volume reduces by half, about 3 to 6 minutes. Slice turkey and serve with sauce. Yields about 3 ounces turkey and 1 tablespoon sauce per serving.
