Ingredients

4 cups water
3/4 cup kosher salt
3/4 cup sugar
2 medium lemons, quartered
6 fresh rosemary sprigs
6 fresh thyme sprigs
8 garlic cloves, halved
1 tablespoon coarsely ground pepper
2 cups cold apple juice
2 cups cold orange juice
2 large oven roasting bags
1 bone-in turkey breast (5 to 6 pounds)

Instructions

In a 6-qt. stockpot, combine the first eight ingredients. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Add cold juices to brine; cool to room temperature.
Place one oven roasting bag inside the other. Place turkey breast inside both bags; pour in cooled brine. Seal bags, pressing out as much air as possible, and turn to coat. Place in a roasting pan. Refrigerate 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally.
In a small bowl, beat herb butter ingredients until blended. Remove turkey from brine; rinse and pat dry. Discard brine. Place turkey on a rack in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan. With fingers, carefully loosen skin from turkey breast; rub herb butter under the skin. Secure skin to underside of breast with toothpicks. Refrigerate, covered, 18-24 hours.
Preheat oven to 425 °. In a small bowl, mix butter and seasoned salt; brush over outside of turkey. Roast 15 minutes.
Reduce oven setting to 325 °. Roast 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 hours longer or until a thermometer reads 170 °. (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.) Remove turkey from oven; tent with foil. Let stand 15 minutes before carving.
