Season the turkey breast with salt and ground black pepper on all sides.
Melt ½ Tablespoon of butter in a skillet and cook the minced garlic in it for about 30 seconds to a minute, just until it becomes fragrant and starts to turn lightly golden.
Put the garlic into a medium bowl and add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and the minced fresh herbs. Mix to combine.
Rub the garlic herb butter all over the underside of the turkey and under the skin. Use kitchen twine to tie around the turkey to keep it in a neater package and so that it cooks more evenly. Rub the remaining herb butter mixture on top of the turkey breast. For best results, leave the turkey to marinate overnight, but you can also roast it immediately.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Place the turkey on a rimmed baking sheet or baking pan and cook until the turkey reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit on an instant-read thermometer. (A 3 lbs boneless turkey breast will take approximately 1 hour to roast.)
Allow the turkey to rest for about 10 minutes before removing the kitchen twine and slicing it to serve.
