Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a bowl make a paste with the butter, thyme, lemon zest, garlic powder and 1/2 tsp salt.
Carefully separate the skin from the meat over the breast and rub the meat with the butter mixture under both breasts.
Place the turkey on a sheet pan (I cover my pan with foil) and rub the turkey with the oil and 1/2 tsp of salt.
Bake for 30 minutes and then reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees.
Bake for an additional 50 minutes or until an instant read thermometer in the thickest part of the breast registers 160 degrees.
Remove turkey breast from the oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
Carve and serve.
