This is what I have been doing lately. I roast half a turkey breast on Friday evening. It's pretty effortless. On the weekend, I bake this focaccia. Then I can eat glorious turkey sandwiches throughout the week. The stuff at the grocery store deli, just does not taste like turkey. I refuse to buy it anymore. |

| 6 pound bone-in turkey breast, skin removed 2 tablespoons olive oil 4 cloves garlic, crushed 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage or 1 tsp. dried, crumbled 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme or 1 tsp. dried 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary or 1 tsp. dried, crumbled 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |

| 1 | Preheat oven to 375°. |
||||||||
| 2 | Rinse the turkey breast and pat dry. In a small bowl, combine the oil, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper and rub the mixture onto the turkey breast. |
||||||||
| 3 | Transfer the breast to a roasting pan and roast until the juices run clear when pierced with fork and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part, away from bone, registers 165°, 1 to 1-1/4 hours. Let rest, covered with aluminum foil, for 10 minutes before carving. |
