Roast Turkey Breast With Mascarpone, Prosciutto and Italian Herb image

I got this from the Butterball web site. This is delicious! The turkey turns out very moist and has a wonderful flavor.You can substitute 4 ounces of cream cheese if you cannot find mascarpone, but I strongly recommend using the mascarpone. I am not a big fan of turkey but I love this!
