I calculated this recipe as 6 W.W. points per serving. This is a simple home cooking type of recipe that would also work well for a small gathering. Enjoy!"

  1. So good and so easy! Misread and thawed the turkey, so cooked entire time on low, but still came out incredible. Will make again without bothering to thaw next tme. Thanks!
     
  2. this allegedly is a recipe from Gloria Pitzer who was the original "Todd Wilber"(from Top Secret Recipes) it a really easy recipe and the turkey breast is moist and flavorful.
     
  3. Extremely easy and very flavorful! Would definitely make again . .in fact, will do so tomorrow for dinner!
     
  4. I made this last weekend and the turkey was very moist. I didn't really care much for the sauce. I ended up throwing out the sauce and just served the turkey with stuffing and gravy. I tried this on a whim, since I had a turkey breast and it was too hot to cook in the oven. We did enjoy the tenderness of the turkey and it was really good the next day as sandwiches. Thanks for posting the recipe.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I live in Arizona. Cooking is a relaxing hobby and I love finding healthy meals that have a lot of flavor and heart to them. Recipezaar has not let me down. I could not possibly pick a favorite cookbook. I love searching used bookstores for old cookbooks. I collect other cookbooks that look intresting or have healthy dishes. My collection is modest, but I love it. Also, I love the Taste of Home magazines. They have real food that real people cook. I would have to say my pet peeves are people who drive while talking on cell phones and people who cannot spell potato. It is p o t a t o not p o t a t o e. There is no e unless you are spelling the plural form of potato which is potatoes. I frequently see that word mispelled in recipes and it makes me think the recipe is somehow devalued because of the spellings. The Zaar system of ratings works for me. I do try to explain myself in my reviews and welcome any questions or comments on what I have said. It is not my intention to be mean-spirited if I did not like something (it is rare for me not to like a recipe though):) Recipezaar brings such a nice element to my life and I feel it has been enriched by the wealth of knowledge both in everyone's contributed recipes and on the forums. Also, it is such a nice feature that you can log on practically any time to get help with a recipe or ingredient that might otherwise be imtimidating to prepare by yourself.</p>
