Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Pat the turkey breast dry on both sides.

Put on gloves to handle the turkey.

Use 1 stick of softened butter, 1 teaspoon of poultry seasoning, 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh thyme, and 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup in a bowl and stir together.

Take the skin off the turkey breast slightly to put the compound butter under the skin.

Place fresh sage leaves under the skin as well, if desired.

Spread the remaining compound butter over the turkey breast.

Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and more poultry seasoning on top of the turkey.

Add a little water to the roasting pan.

Roast the turkey in the preheated oven for about 1.5 hours until the internal temperature reaches between 160°F and 165°F.

Tent the turkey with aluminum foil and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
