The Torrisi recipe is a great bet. You might also consider braising. Or, do as Ina does, and cook it ahead and then re-warm it in gravy so it stays moist: https://food52.com/blog/11742-ina-garten-s-make-ahead-thanksgiving-advice

Dry-brining is a great way to go for a moist juicy bird, even just the breast—you should start now! https://food52.com/recipes/15069-russ-parsons-dry-brined-turkey-a-k-a-the-judy-bird

And I would also cover it with foil for part of the time, and be sure to coat it with butter and olive oil before seasoning.

Will definetely be dry-brining as I usually do with a whole bird - thanks!

(The torrisi recipe has a crazy technique that involves saran wrap!)

Thanks for suggesting the Torrisi recipe, the technique does sound like a great way to keep it moist. Making Thanksgiving dinner for two, and unfortunately my butcher here in Italy only had skinless turkey breast. Thanks for your help!
