Cover the pan loosely with foil then put into oven. Meanwhile, melt the remaining Cajun herb butter then soak a cheesecloth in it.\nAfter about one hour, check the turkey's temperature by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast. Then lay the soaked cheesecloth over top of the turkey breast, pouring any extra butter on top, too. Continue cooking until skin is crisp and golden brown and the temperature of the meat reaches 165 degrees F, about two hours total cook time.\nRemove turkey from oven then tent with foil and allow it to rest for about 20 minutes before serving.\nTo Make Gravy\nWhile the turkey rests, scoop about one cup of the pan liquid (aka drippings) into a small saucepan. Mix together cornstarch and water to create a slurry then stir into pan. Bring the mixture to a light bubbling boil then reduce heat to low and simmer until turkey breast is ready to carve and serve.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees farenheit. Pour chicken broth into roasting dish then slice the lemon and lay the slices in the broth.\n  6 pounds bone-in turkey breast, 1 cup chicken broth, 1 lemon\n- Crush or mince the garlic then mix with butter, chopped herbs, smoked paprika, sea salt, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, oregano, black pepper, white pepper, and thyme powder until combined. Set ¼ cup of the compound butter aside to melt for later.\n  1 ¾ cup unsalted butter, 6 cloves garlic, ¼ cup chopped herbs, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 3 teaspoons sea salt, 1 ½ teaspoon cayenne powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ¾ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon white pepper, ¼ teaspoon thyme powder\n- Gently tug the skin from turkey breast to loosen it, leaving one end of the skin fully attached to create a pocket. Spread half the butter mixture underneath the skin and the other half on top.\n- Place turkey into roasting dish, skin side up, on top of lemon slices and chicken broth. Cover the pan loosely with foil then put into oven. Meanwhile, melt the remaining Cajun herb butter then soak a cheesecloth in it.\n- After about one hour, check the turkey's temperature by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast. Then lay the soaked cheesecloth over top of the turkey breast, pouring any extra butter on top, too. Continue cooking until skin is crisp and golden brown and the temperature of the meat reaches 165 degrees F, about two hours total cook time.\n- Remove turkey from oven then tent with foil and allow it to rest for about 20 minutes before serving.\n\n#### To Make Gravy\n- While the turkey rests, scoop about one cup of the pan liquid (aka drippings) into a small saucepan. Mix together cornstarch and water to create a slurry then stir into pan. Bring the mixture to a light bubbling boil then reduce heat to low and simmer until turkey breast is ready to carve and serve. Serve with turkey.\n  2 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 tablespoons water or chicken broth\n\n### Notes\n**Preparation**\n\nYou can prepare this main dish up to two days in advance as long as it's stored properly.\n\nI recommend adding the butter to the turkey inside a prepared pan to make the process less messy and easier to transfer the turkey to the oven afterward.\n\n*To marinate the turkey:* Starting at the top (wider end) of the turkey breast, gently tug the skin away from the meat a little over ¾ of the way down, making sure not to completely remove the skin, which creates a nice pocket for the butter.\n\nThis thoroughly salted and seasoned Cajun compound butter takes the place of a brine so get it all in there\\!\n\n**Storage**\n\nStore cooked bone-in turkey breast covered with foil or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.\n\nYou can freeze the finished turkey breast for up to six months. Wrap the whole piece of meat snugly with plastic wrap then aluminum foil or place the slices into an airtight container before placing in the freezer.\n\n### Nutrition\nCalories: 648kcalCarbohydrates: 8gProtein: 68gFat: 40gSaturated Fat: 20gPolyunsaturated Fat: 1gMonounsaturated Fat: 6gTrans Fat: 1gCholesterol: 243mgSodium: 1601mgPotassium: 85mgFiber: 1gSugar: 1gVitamin A: 1307IUVitamin C: 8mgCalcium: 31mgIron: 1mg\n\nDid you try this recipe?[Leave a comment](https:\/\/www.dashofjazz.com\/thanksgiving-turkey-breast-recipe\/#comment) to let me know how it turned out\\!\n\n## More of Top Soulful Thanksgiving Recipes\n- [![](https:\/\/www.dashofjazz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dash-of-Jazz-Melting-Sweet-Potatoes-8-200x300.jpg)![](https:\/\/www.dashofjazz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dash-of-Jazz-Melting-Sweet-Potatoes-8-200x300.jpg)Perfectly Spiced Melting Sweet Potatoes](https:\/\/www.dashofjazz.com\/melting-sweet-potatoes\/)\n- [![](https:\/\/www.dashofjazz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dash-of-Jazz-Sweet-Potato-Cake-18-200x300.jpg)![](https:\/\/www.dashofjazz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Dash-of-Jazz-Sweet-Potato-Cake-18-200x300.jpg)Sweet Potato Spice Cake with Praline Cream Cheese Frosting](https:\/\/www.dashofjazz.com\/sweet-potato-cake\/)\n- [![](https:\/\/www.dashofjazz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dash-of-Jazz-Leftover-Turkey-Pot-Pie-16-200x300.jpg)![](https:\/\/www.dashofjazz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dash-of-Jazz-Leftover-Turkey-Pot-Pie-16-200x300.jpg)Thanksgiving Leftovers Turkey Pot Pie Recipe with Puff Pastry](https:\/\/www.dashofjazz.com\/thanksgiving-leftovers-turkey-pot-pie\/)\n- [![](https:\/\/www.dashofjazz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dash-of-Jazz-Soul-Food-Baked-Mac-and-Cheese-8-200x300.jpg)![](https:\/\/www.dashofjazz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Dash-of-Jazz-Soul-Food-Baked-Mac-and-Cheese-8-200x300.jpg)Soul Food Baked Mac and Cheese (with Roux)](https:\/\/www.dashofjazz.com\/soul-food-baked-mac-and-cheese-with-roux\/)\n\nFiled Under: [Main Dishes](https:\/\/www.dashofjazz.com\/category\/mains\/), [Thanksgiving](https:\/\/www.dashofjazz.com\/category\/thanksgiving\/), [Turkey](https:\/\/www.dashofjazz.com\/category\/turkey\/)\n\n5 from 6 votes ([6 ratings without comment](https:\/\/www.dashofjazz.com\/thanksgiving-turkey-breast-recipe\/))\n\n### Love this recipe?

I purchase them whole and chop them up myself to control the size and quality but you do you.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees farenheit. Pour chicken broth into roasting dish then slice the lemon and lay the slices in the broth. 6 pounds bone-in turkey breast, 1 cup chicken broth, 1 lemon - Crush or mince the garlic then mix with butter, chopped herbs, smoked paprika, sea salt, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, oregano, black pepper, white pepper, and thyme powder until combined. Set ¼ cup of the compound butter aside to melt for later. 1 ¾ cup unsalted butter, 6 cloves garlic, ¼ cup chopped herbs, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 3 teaspoons sea salt, 1 ½ teaspoon cayenne powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ¾ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon white pepper, ¼ teaspoon thyme powder - Gently tug the skin from turkey breast to loosen it, leaving one end of the skin fully attached to create a pocket. Spread half the butter mixture underneath the skin and the other half on top. - Place turkey into roasting dish, skin side up, on top of lemon slices and chicken broth. Cover the pan loosely with foil then put into oven. Meanwhile, melt the remaining Cajun herb butter then soak a cheesecloth in it. - After about one hour, check the turkey's temperature by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast. Then lay the soaked cheesecloth over top of the turkey breast, pouring any extra butter on top, too. Continue cooking until skin is crisp and golden brown and the temperature of the meat reaches 165 degrees F, about two hours total cook time. - Remove turkey from oven then tent with foil and allow it to rest for about 20 minutes before serving. #### To Make Gravy - While the turkey rests, scoop about one cup of the pan liquid (aka drippings) into a small saucepan. Mix together cornstarch and water to create a slurry then stir into pan. Bring the mixture to a light bubbling boil then reduce heat to low and simmer until turkey breast is ready to carve and serve. Serve with turkey. 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 2 tablespoons water or chicken broth ### Notes Preparation You can prepare this main dish up to two days in advance as long as it's stored properly. I recommend adding the butter to the turkey inside a prepared pan to make the process less messy and easier to transfer the turkey to the oven afterward. To marinate the turkey: Starting at the top (wider end) of the turkey breast, gently tug the skin away from the meat a little over ¾ of the way down, making sure not to completely remove the skin, which creates a nice pocket for the butter. This thoroughly salted and seasoned Cajun compound butter takes the place of a brine so get it all in there\! Storage Store cooked bone-in turkey breast covered with foil or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. You can freeze the finished turkey breast for up to six months. Wrap the whole piece of meat snugly with plastic wrap then aluminum foil or place the slices into an airtight container before placing in the freezer. ### Nutrition Calories: 648kcalCarbohydrates: 8gProtein: 68gFat: 40gSaturated Fat: 20gPolyunsaturated Fat: 1gMonounsaturated Fat: 6gTrans Fat: 1gCholesterol: 243mgSodium: 1601mgPotassium: 85mgFiber: 1gSugar: 1gVitamin A: 1307IUVitamin C: 8mgCalcium: 31mgIron: 1mg Did you try this recipe?[Leave a comment](https://www.dashofjazz.com/thanksgiving-turkey-breast-recipe/#comment) to let me know how it turned out\! ## More of Top Soulful Thanksgiving Recipes - [![](https://www.dashofjazz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Dash-of-Jazz-Melting-Sweet-Potatoes-8-200x300.jpg)![](https://www.dashofjazz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Dash-of-Jazz-Melting-Sweet-Potatoes-8-200x300.jpg)Perfectly Spiced Melting Sweet Potatoes](https://www.dashofjazz.com/melting-sweet-potatoes/) - [![](https://www.dashofjazz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Dash-of-Jazz-Sweet-Potato-Cake-18-200x300.jpg)![](https://www.dashofjazz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Dash-of-Jazz-Sweet-Potato-Cake-18-200x300.jpg)Sweet Potato Spice Cake with Praline Cream Cheese Frosting](https://www.dashofjazz.com/sweet-potato-cake/) - [![](https://www.dashofjazz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Dash-of-Jazz-Leftover-Turkey-Pot-Pie-16-200x300.jpg)![](https://www.dashofjazz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Dash-of-Jazz-Leftover-Turkey-Pot-Pie-16-200x300.jpg)Thanksgiving Leftovers Turkey Pot Pie Recipe with Puff Pastry](https://www.dashofjazz.com/thanksgiving-leftovers-turkey-pot-pie/) - [![](https://www.dashofjazz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Dash-of-Jazz-Soul-Food-Baked-Mac-and-Cheese-8-200x300.jpg)![](https://www.dashofjazz.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Dash-of-Jazz-Soul-Food-Baked-Mac-and-Cheese-8-200x300.jpg)Soul Food Baked Mac and Cheese (with Roux)](https://www.dashofjazz.com/soul-food-baked-mac-and-cheese-with-roux/) Filed Under: [Main Dishes](https://www.dashofjazz.com/category/mains/), [Thanksgiving](https://www.dashofjazz.com/category/thanksgiving/), [Turkey](https://www.dashofjazz.com/category/turkey/) 5 from 6 votes ([6 ratings without comment](https://www.dashofjazz.com/thanksgiving-turkey-breast-recipe/)) ### Love this recipe?

Don't feel intimidated--you got this. Lip-Smacking Good - This oven roasted turkey breast for Thanksgiving is slathered in Creole Cajun herb butter inside and out, so it's literally dripping with flavor. So moist and juicy that gravy isn't required, but I included instructions for that anyway, cuz I'm extra. As a born-and-raised Houston Texas gal, I have plenty more southern favorites for you to dive into: [slow cooked mustard greens with ham hocks](https://www.dashofjazz.com/mustard-greens-ham-hocks/), [brown butter macaroni and cheese](https://www.dashofjazz.com/brown-butter-roasted-garlic-mac-cheese/), [sweet honey cornbread](https://www.dashofjazz.com/sweet-honey-skillet-cornbread/), [green beans and potatoes](https://www.dashofjazz.com/soul-food-green-beans-and-potatoes/), and don't forget the [bourbon peach cobbler](https://www.dashofjazz.com/bourbon-peach-cobbler-cast-iron-skillet/)\! ## What You'll Need for this Recipe ![ingredients for cooking Thanksgiving turkey breast on granite counter top: bone-in turkey breast, Creole Cajun spices, orange, lemon, garlic, chicken broth, butter, and fresh sage, rosemary, and thyme.](https://www.dashofjazz.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Dash-of-Jazz-Best-Thanksgiving-Turkey-Breast-Ingredients.jpg) Bone-In Turkey Breast is the star of the show and breast meat does not have the best reputation for tenderness and moisture but we're shooting for both in the recipe and we're succeeding\! Fresh Herbs like rosemary, sage, and thyme. I purchase them whole and chop them up myself to control the size and quality but you do you. Dried herbs can work in a pinch, too. Creole Cajun Seasoning Blend is a homemade mix of herbs and spices like smoked paprika, garlic and onion powder, and cayenne pepper. It adds deep layers of flavor all up and through this dish. Butter...like a whole pound of butter because we're getting that juiciness all the way down to the bone, OK?\!

Or you can dissolve bouillon cubes in warm water and use that\! ## How to Make Herb Butter Basted Turkey Breast ## Pro Tip \#1 Starting at the top (wider end) of the turkey breast, gently tug the skin away from the meat a little over ¾ of the way down, making sure not to completely remove the skin, which creates a nice pocket for the butter. This thoroughly salted and seasoned Cajun compound butter takes the place of a brine so get it all in there\! ## Pro Tip \#2 I recommend adding the butter to the turkey inside a prepared pan to make the process less messy and easier to transfer the turkey to the oven afterward. ## Pro Tip \#3 I use a basic [meat thermometer](https://amzn.to/4enFSSs) to measure the temperature of this turkey and take out the guesswork. ## Pro Tip \#4 To make a good pan gravy for your turkey breast while it rests, scoop some of the pan drippings to cook in a small saucepan with more broth and a couple spoonfuls of cornstarch and water. ## Frequently Asked Questions Can I make this ahead of time?

Spread half the butter mixture underneath the skin and the other half on top. - Place turkey into roasting dish, skin side up, on top of lemon slices and chicken broth. Cover the pan loosely with foil then put into oven. Meanwhile, melt the remaining Cajun herb butter then soak a cheesecloth in it. - After about one hour, check the turkey's temperature by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the breast.
