LEMON-HERB TURKEY BREAST



Lemon-Herb Turkey Breast image

The first time I tried this recipe, and told my kids I'd prepared the turkey differently, they threw a fit...until they tasted it. Now they make it in their own homes. The marinade makes the turkey moist and flavorful. Using a turkey breast is a nice change from preparing a whole turkey.

GARLIC BUTTER, LEMON, HERB SLOW COOK TURKEY BREAST



GARLIC BUTTER, LEMON, HERB SLOW COOK TURKEY BREAST image

This easy, foolproof recipe yields moist, fork-tender turkey that melts in your mouth. I created it on a whim and was amazed at how yummy it turned out. Fresh lemon juice helps tenderize the meat and the leftover rinds act as a base to prop the turkey. I add more lemon flavor with lemon pepper seasoning. Herbs are strictly personal. For this recipe, I recommend Penzey's Northwoods, a mix of salt, pepper, paprika, thyme, rosemary, garlic & chipotle. Paprika is a must to help give a good color to the surface of the meat. I throw in fresh rosemary any time I have it; I love rosemary on fowl.
