Herb Mayonnaise Turkey Breast is a delicious roast turkey breast perfect for Thanksgiving dinner. Easy to make in a fraction of the time of a whole turkey.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, sage, thyme, parsley and rosemary. Set aside.
Season the turkey breast with fine sea salt and ground black pepper.
Slather the top of the turkey breast with herbed mayonnaise. Place it on a rimmed baking sheet or in a roasting dish.
Bake, uncovered, for 60-90 minutes. The exact time is going to vary based on the size of the turkey breast. If the mayonnaise starts to brown too much, loosely cover with a piece of aluminum foil. Bake until the center registers at 165°F.
Remove the turkey breast and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve with turkey gravy, if desired.
