All the Tips and Tricks
How to Cook Thanksgiving Turkey!
EVERYTHING you need to know for Thanksgiving entertaining.
If you use a frozen turkey breast, be sure to fully thaw it before cooking. Otherwise it will affect the cooking time.
I highly recommend a boneless turkey breast as it cooks more quickly and more evenly than bone-in.
Feel free to use any extra herbs you like. Sage and thyme make great additions to rosemary.
The combination of butter and olive oil helps the skin crisp, keeps the meat moist, and adds great flavor. I highly recommend using both!
