I'll be roasting an 8 lb. fresh bone-in skin-on turkey breast this morning. Any preferred cooking methods? Hi temp vs low temp. I'd love to hear what you've got. I am not brining it.

I seasoned the whole bone-in breast w s+p and rubbed it well with olive oil, propped it up on some big onion halves, tucked in some fresh herbs, a few garlic cloves, and roasted it in a shallow roasting pan. It's beautifully browned, skin is crispy, and took about 1 1/2 hrs. to reach 160. The 1st half hr. was on convection, then turned it to regular bake, as I didn't want the skin to burn.
I love all your ideas and will keep them for future, as we'll be making roast turkey pretty regularly - it's a great lean protein and we're trying to eat healthy. :)

Basically the idea is to remove the skin in one piece, bone it, then wrap the skinless breast it it's skin ballontine style.
I didn't have twine so I skewered the sucker.
I skipped the salting and roasted it in my oven at 425 for 30 minutes and finished at 350 and it worked for me.
