Preparation. 1  Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. 2  Sprinkle the turkey breast inside and out with salt, pepper, lemon juice, oil, thyme and chili powder. 3  Place the breast skin side up in a roasting pan and spread around the onion, celery, carrots, bay leaf and garlic.
Not Too Long. Butter should be taken out of the refrigerator 10 to 15 minutes before using, advises the U.S. Department of Agriculture. But it takes longer than 15 minutes to bring butter to room temperature, which many recipes call for. Many professional bakers bring butter to room temperature overnight.
Butter freezes well, but should be further protected by over-wrapping it in additional foil or heavy-duty plastic wrap or a freezer bag. Properly wrapped, salted butter will keep in the freezer for up to one year. After this, it may begin to lose the fresh butter flavour and pick up other odours or flavours from the freezer. Unsalted butter will keep in the freezer for up to three months.
