Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 lbs boneless turkey breast; 3 tablespoons olive oil; 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped; 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves; 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard; 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon pepper; 2 tablespoons lemon juice; 1 tablespoon butter

Servings: persons

1
Trim turkey breast of any fat.
2
In a small bowl combine olive oil with garlic, thyme, mustard, lemon peel, salt and pepper. Rub into turkey breast.
3
Marinate in the refrigerator from 1 hour to 12 hours.
4
Arrange turkey breast, skin side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or tinfoil.
5
Roast at 350F for 50 to 60 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of the breast reaches 165F and the juices run clear.
6
Remove turkey from oven to a carving board and tent with tinfoil. Place juices in a medium skillet (could drain off some of the fat) add lemon juice (perhaps use less if some of the fat drained off) and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter.
7
Carve turkey into thin slices across the breast. Drizzle with sauce and garnish with fresh thyme.
