I made this turkey breast for my first formal dinner party as a newlywed. It was such a success that it's become a standby on all of my entertaining menus. Ingredients:
1 bone-in turkey breast (5 to 6 pounds) |
5 teaspoons lemon juice |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 to 2 teaspoons pepper |
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
1 teaspoon garlic salt |
1 medium onion, cut into wedges |
1 celery rib, cut into 2-inch pieces |
1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°.With fingers, carefully loosen the skin from both sides of turkey breast. Combine lemon juice and oil; brush under the skin. Combine the pepper, rosemary, thyme and garlic salt; rub over turkey.
2. Place onion and celery in a 3-qt. baking dish. Top with turkey breast, skin side up. Pour wine into the dish.
3. Bake, uncovered, 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 170°, basting every 30 minutes with pan drippings. (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.) Cover and let stand 15 minutes before carving. Yield: 10-12 servings.
