This is a family favorite that's also popular with company, notes Alicia Glovor of Sterling, Alaska. The herbs tucked under the skin give the turkey a wonderful aroma as it's roasting, and the lemon juice adds a subtle hint of citrus. Ingredients:
1 bone-in turkey breast (8-1/2 pounds) |
3 tablespoons lemon juice, divided |
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
3/4 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage |
Directions:
1. Loosen skin from turkey with fingers, leaving skin attached along bottom edges. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon oil, garlic and seasonings. Spread under turkey skin.
2. In a small bowl, combine remaining lemon juice and oil; set aside.
3. Place turkey on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 170°; basting every 15-20 minutes with lemon mixture. Let stand for 10 minutes. Discard skin before carving. Yield: 16 servings.
