Receta Lemon Roasted Turkey Half Breast
Lemon Roasted Turkey Half Breast
Before I say anything else, no I didn’t get my months mixed up and I know Thanksgiving is celebrated in the month of November. If the truth be told, I would eat turkey over chicken almost every time. But I have a feeling that what makes turkey so enticing are the memories and the tradition of a Thanksgiving feast. The time and energy that goes into roasting a whole bird can be daunting.
But not if you make my Lemon Roasted Turkey Half Breast. If you need to feed more people, make two of these. They roast up in about an hour.

Trust me on this one. Since it doesn’t roast in the oven for hours, you do need to brown it on the stove first. It makes a huge difference in the end.
The aromas from this roasted turkey will call out to anyone in the house and bring them right into the kitchen. they will say, wow, that smells so good. Is there enough for everyone?
Just the right amount – and really, make two anyway! Save the leftovers for turkey sandwiches. Who can resist the temptation of having a turkey sandwich.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
