Herbed Turkey Breast

[faramirhaldir.livejournal.com]

Made this last night and it was a hit!

1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons of chopped green onions (I used more)
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon marjoram
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 pound whole turkey breast

Mix butter, lemon juice, soy sauce and all the seasonings in a saucepan and bring to a boil until they are well blended. Remove from heat. Place the turkey breast in a shallow roasting pan and baste with the mixture. Cook at 325 for 1-1/2 to 2 hours until done. Baste every 30 minutes with mixture. Enjoy!

I had a hard time finding a whole turkey breast so i bought a couple of small already cooked breasts and followed the same process except I only cooked it for about 45 min. just to get it hot through and through. I basted it about 3 times. The turkey was juicy and very flavorful. Even my finicky kiddo loved it.

Mmmmmh, this sounds yummy! I love both turkey breast and thyme, so I definitely will have to try it. :)

It was good. I am learning to cook with more spices other than salt pepper and garlic. *grin*
