Roast Turkey Breast

1 Turkey Breast (6 - 8 pounder)
1/4 C butter, melted
1 can chicken broth
1 - 2 Tbls. mayo or Miracle Whip

Put turkey in roasting pan. Combine butter and broth, pour over turkey. Rub mayo over the outside of turkey. Roast at 300 degrees until it reaches 170 degrees with a meat thermometer. (Raise temperature to 350 degrees for the last 30 to 45 minutes to brown the turkey skin.) Let sit for 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes: I don't have a meat thermometer, so I just cooked it until the timer popped up (3 hours for a 6-1/2 lb. turkey). I mixed the turkey drippings with a turkey gravy mix and made gravy. I had to thicken it a little more.

This was a very moist turkey and yummy gravy!!!
