Number Of Ingredients 5

2-pound boneless turkey breast half with untorn skin
1 small lemon, thinly sliced
10 fresh basil leaves
Olive or vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning

Carefully place lemon slices and basil leaves under skin. Rub turkey skin with oil; sprinkle with lemon-pepper seasoning. Insert barbecue meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of turkey.
