- 1/2 tsp grated lemon peel
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice

- 2. Place turkey breast, skin side up, to one side in ungreased roasting pan, 13 x 9 x 2 inches. Mix oil, lemon peel, lemon juice, salt, pepper and garlic; brush over turkey. Insert meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of turkey breast and does not touch bone.
