Steps:
- Let the turkey breasts stand at room temperature for 1 hour prior to cooking.
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Fit a baking sheet with a wire rack.
- Pat the turkey breasts dry and season heavily with salt and pepper all over. Put the olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Sear the breasts skin-side down until light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip the breasts over and add the garlic, thyme, rosemary and 4 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet. Once the butter has melted, use a spoon to baste the turkey breasts with the herb and garlic infused butter for 30 seconds.
- Transfer the breasts to the rack on the baking sheet, pour the butter and herb mixture over the breasts and cook, basting every 15 minutes, until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the breast reaches 160 degrees F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Transfer to a cutting board, tent with aluminum foil and rest for 15 minutes.
- Deglaze the skillet that the breasts were seared in with the white wine over medium-high heat, then reduce until almost dry, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the turkey stock and reduce by 90 percent, another 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the remaining 6 tablespoons butter, keeping the mixture creamy and emulsified. Once all the butter is incorporated, add the capers, parsley, lemon zest and shallot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Slice the turkey and transfer it to a platter. Pour some sauce over the slices and serve the rest of the sauce on the side. Garnish with fresh herb sprigs if desired.

LINGUINE WITH LEMONY TURKEY PATTIES AND FRESH TOMATO SAUCE
If your looking for a recipe to use fresh summer kissed tomatoes from your garden or local supermarket, this is truly a wonderful dish to make. I normally make this dish in summer when the tomatoes are at their best. It's especially good if you have tomatoes in your garden or local farm grown because they surpass supermarket quality in flavor. I've made it many times with the turkey patties and have made it using only the fresh tomato sauce. I've also used this fresh tomato sauce as a topping for bruschetta which is out of this world. Like many of my recipes, this recipe was developed by combining a recipe from here and another from there with a twist and tweak of my own. I hope you enjoy this dish as much as my family, friends, and I have.

Steps:
- Fresh Tomato Sauce:.
- Coarsely chop the tomatoes, making sure to reserve the juice. Place tomatoes and juice in large bowl. Add the vinegar, 3 tablespoons of the extra-virgin olive oil, and the basil.
- Add the tablespoon of olive oil to a sauté pan over medium high heat. Sauté the garlic for 3 minutes, stirring. (Do not allow it to brown) (You may also add garlic to sauce raw. If you decide to add it raw, you can cut the garlic in half because it will be much stronger in flavor). Add to tomato mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Let mixture sit at room temperature for at least 4 hours. (It can also be made a day ahead of time and kept in refrigerator).
- When ready to serve, Prepare turkey patties as indicated below.
- Cook linguine in a large pot of boiling, salted water. When pasta is al dente, drain in a large colander, then transfer to a large bowl.
- Toss linguine with the tomato sauce and turkey patties. Incorporate parmesan cheese throughout or top each serving with the cheese.
- Lemony Turkey Patties:.
- Mix crumbs with half and half in a large bowl. Add all remaining ingredients and mix until well blended (mixture will be very soft).
- Moisten hands (to make meat mixture easier to handle) and shape into sixteen 1 - 1 ½" circumference patties. Let stand for 15 minutes.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until it bubbles and starts to brown. Add patties and cook until browned and crisp on both sides and no longer pink in centers, about 5 minutes. Place on paper towels to drain. Add to Linguine recipe.
- NOTE:.
- This recipe is also great served with only the fresh tomato sauce, but the turkey patties certainly add the "oomph". Definitely use summer tomatoes as mentioned in "Recipe Description" section. Supermarket vine ripened tomatoes are also decent enough to use.
- I also use this tomato sauce for making bruschetta. If using it for bruschetta, make sure to drain the juices from the tomatoes as it can make your bread soggy. I also add a bit of fennel seed (cause I like it) and grated parmesan or romano cheese over the top (or combo). Quickly pop the bruschetta's into the oven for a couple of minutes or so until cheese just melts.

Steps:
- Place turkey, meat-side up, on a rack set inside a roasting pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix together chicken broth, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt, Worcestershire sauce, honey, and cayenne pepper. Fill a turkey injector with chicken broth mixture (you will have to refill injector several times). Inject small amounts of solution at regular intervals all over turkey, taking care to remove injector from turkey before refilling. Refrigerate turkey for at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a small bowl, mix together garlic, herbs, butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Using your fingertips, gently loosen skin on both sides of turkey breast so that it is separated from the flesh. Divide garlic mixture evenly and spread under skin on each side of breast. Season turkey all over with remaining teaspoon salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper; brush skin with remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil.
- Transfer turkey to oven and roast, uncovered, for 1 hour. Tent turkey with parchment paper-lined aluminum foil and continue to roast until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reaches 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, 20 to 40 minutes more. Remove turkey from oven and let stand 20 minutes before carving.
Tips:
- To achieve a crispy skin on your turkey breast, pat it dry thoroughly before seasoning and roasting.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the turkey breast reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- For a flavorful and juicy turkey breast, consider brining it in a salt and water solution for several hours or overnight before cooking.
- Enhance the taste of the fresh tomato sauce by using a variety of ripe tomatoes, such as Roma, cherry, or heirloom tomatoes.
- Add a touch of sweetness to the tomato sauce by incorporating a bit of honey or brown sugar.
- Garnish the turkey breast with fresh herbs like basil, thyme, or rosemary for an aromatic presentation.
