Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pat the turkey breasts dry with paper towels and set them on a roasting rack in a baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, rosemary, thyme, sage, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the herb mixture generously under and over the turkey skin, ensuring even coverage.
Pour half a cup of chicken broth into the baking dish to keep the turkey moist as it roasts.
Place the turkey breasts in the oven and roast for approximately 1.5 hours, basting every 30 minutes with the pan juices. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, remove the turkey from the oven and transfer to a cutting board to rest for 15 minutes. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
While the turkey rests, make the pan gravy. Place the roasting pan with the drippings on the stovetop over medium heat.
Add the white wine to the pan, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.
Gradually whisk in the remaining chicken broth to the roux, then transfer this mixture to the roasting pan while stirring constantly.
Simmer the gravy for 5–7 minutes, or until thickened. Strain through a fine mesh sieve if desired and adjust seasoning as needed.
Slice the turkey breasts and serve warm with the pan gravy on the side.
