Ingredients

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
5- to 6-lb bone-in whole turkey breast
2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted

Steps:

Heat oven to 325°F. On rack in shallow roasting pan, place turkey breast. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of breast and does not touch bone. Brush turkey with butter.
Roast uncovered 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes or until thermometer reads 170°F.
