List of Ingredients

5 to 6 lb turkey breast
zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fennel, ground
3 tablespoons no salt added chicken broth
2 fresh lemons, halved


Recipe

Preheat oven to 425ºF. In a bowl, mix lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, fennel and chicken broth. Rub turkey with herb mixture and palce the halved lemons on top. Place turkey in a roasting pan and roast for 20 minues. Lower the oven to 325ºF and roast for another 1 3/4 hours, basting with pan drippings. When done, juices from the thickest part of the turkey should run clear. Remove from oven and cool for 20 minutes before serving. Variation: you can add 1/2 tsp of each thyme, sage and marjoram.
