1. Thaw your turkey breast (in the bag it came), in your refrigerator. It typically takes 24 hours per 4 pounds to defrost, plan accordingly according to weight.
2. Once your turkey is defrosted, carefully remove it out of the bag (I do this over the sink, since it is easy to disinfect the surface after). Remove any bags of innards that may be included. Place turkey breast on half sheet pan with a rack, so any additional thawed juices that come out while it brines, do not get reabsorbed back into the turkey. Proceed to dry the entire turkey inside and out with paper towels.
3. In a small bowl, mix the baking powder with the kosher salt (see note #1). From up above, sprinkle baking powder/salt mixture over the entire turkey breast (you may not need all of it depending on the size of your bird). Carefully place the bird, uncovered, in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
4. Once your turkey has brined for 24 hours, remove from the refrigerator and preheat oven to 425F. If any juices accumulated overnight, discard. From the bottom of the breast, carefully separate the skin from the breast. Be very gentle or the skin can rip.

1. (4) Four days before you plan to roast the turkey, mix the herbs and oil in a small bowl. Loosen the skin around the shoulders of the bird and around the cavity. Carefully slide your hands underneath the skin to loosen it from the breast, thighs, and drumsticks.
2. Remove the turkey from the refrigerator and let it temper on the counter for about 1 to 3 hours. Place turkey breast side up on a rack (sprayed with oil) in a shallow roasting pan 2 to 2½ inches deep.
3. Position a rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F in convection roast setting. If using a probe, insert the thermometer in the thickest part of the thigh not touching the bone and set the temp to 170F. Roast until the temp registers 170°F in the thickest part of a thigh, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or longer depending on the size of the turkey. Let the turkey rest for 30 minutes before carving to allow the juices to settle.
4. Position a rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat the oven to 425°F. Roast the turkey for 1 hour, then reduce the heat to 325°F.
