- 1/2 teaspoon tarragon
- 1/2 teaspoon rosemary

- Preheat the oven to 350℉

- Open the bag the turkey breast is in and drain and pat dry.
- Pull the skin back and rub 1/2 the spices under the skin and add the butter. Repeat on other side.
- Place the thawed turkey breast into the oven bag, breast side down (bigger part).
- Add enough pepper on the top of the turkey breast to coat it lightly, 1-2 teaspoons.
- Put your stuffing on the sides of the turkey.The stuffing will help keep the turkey from drying out during cooking.
- The turkey will need to cook for 15-20 minutes for every pound of turkey meat.
- You will want to check the meat temperature in the deepest part. It needs to be 165℉ to be baked to done. Verify it is cooked through on several places.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and let set in the pan for 15 minutes (so the juices go back into the turkey).
