Herbed Turkey Breast
"Want a wonderful smelling house? Try this one out! Turkey dinner is the favorite at our house and we all like white meat the best. This recipe is so great and the juices make a superb gravy. This comes from '00 Taste of Home. I highly recommend it. The serving size and cooking time would really depend on what size turkey breast you are cooking. Please adjust accordingly."

Really a nice recipe. I used fresh lemon juice, and I think that makes all the difference in the world. Thanks for the recipe! -
This is the 2nd time I am using this recipe. Although, I am slightly changing it this time. The first time I did not change the recipe at all and it was fantastic. But I wanted a twist this time and I added a bit of honey and some fresh squeezed lime and orange juice with all the other ingredients. It's so good either way. You can't go wrong with this recipe...thanks! -
I love roasted turkey breast and this turned out well for me. I did as another reviewer suggested and lifted the skin and rubbed the basting sauce underneath. I think that is key to getting<br/>maximum flavor in the meat. The skin was browned and crispy. Leftovers made bangin' sandwiches. Thanks for posting.

Tasty and flavorful. The basting sauce used ingredients I would always have on hand too! Thank you! -
I love this recipe! It really does make your house smell wonderful! The only thing I do differently is prepare my turkey breast before hand with a salt water rinse then a soak in yogurt and/or liquor blend for a few hours (coconut lemon-grass sake is a favorite). After that you can rinse the turkey or not then proceed to use your recipe as directed. It is fantastic. Thanks!"

Yummm......My family and I enjoyed this. I pulled the skin up and brushed the mixture under the skin,too. I didn't have marjoram or sage,so I used poultry seasoning as an equivalent instead. I didn't necessarily overwhelmingly taste the seasonings, but there was subtle flavor. Thanks.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>Hello! <br /> <br />I'm a Montana native that has made my way back after a few moves. I've been married to my high school sweetheart for 24 years and we have twin boys who are 18 years old and Freshman in College. I wasn't ready for this empty nest stuff and just want my boys back home! I'm doing my best to adjust. I have continued cooking and am learning how to scale recipes back for just the 2 of us. My husband and I are partners in our own company and own 13 Subway sandwich shops. I work from our home handling all the financial and clerical duties of the business. <br /> <br />Over the years and especially since finding Zaar, cooking has become my passion. My grandmothers were very good cooks and I have fond memories of the meals they prepared. We love entertaining and nothing pleases me more than having my family and others enjoy the food I make. I love it when the house smells good with dinner or whatever is baking. I came upon recipezaar searching for a rhubarb cake recipe one day. The recipe I chose was a 5 star and my addiction began. It took a few months before I started really utilizing the site but once I did my cooking has never been the same. My family now knows all about having to rate recipes, picking their favorite chefs, etc. It's become a family thing and they have told me that I may never let my membership to Recipezaar ever end. <br /> <br />We love to travel and try to go whenever we can. Owning our own business has helped free up time where we can travel more. We've done some Europe, Canada, and much of the U.S. In the coming years I hope to do a lot more. Eating out when we are traveling is the best. I'm trying to learn more about the restaurants and chefs in places we are visiting so we can try and visit those restaurants and enjoy some of the great places our town just doesn't have. <br /> <br />The whole family loves to ski and we look forward to the season every year - it makes winter tolerable. Renting movies or just hanging out with friends is the making of a relaxing weekend for us.</p>
