Turkey can be enjoyed at any time of the year, not only during thanksgiving. However, cooking a whole turkey may not be a good idea if you are making this for only a few people. Why not use turkey breasts instead and follow this Baked Turkey Breast Recipe?

The nice thing about this Baked Turkey Breast Recipe other than its delicious taste and enticing aroma is the fact that it is enough for 4 to 5 people. There is a small chance of having too much leftover, but if you do then you can always make a turkey sandwich out of them. The point is nothing gets wasted overtime. Cooking time is way faster too.

Mixing thyme and rosemary together makes a lot of sense. It gives this dish a nice aroma and makes the flavor more awesome. Combining them with butter and other seasonings is another story. A turkey dish can be tasty after all even if there is no gravy and cranberry sauce. This Baked Turkey Breast Recipe is really handy if you are planning for a weekend turkey dinner with the whole family or just missing turkey at the middle of the year.
