Lemon-Herb Turkey Breast image

The first time I tried this recipe, and told my kids I'd prepared the turkey differently, they threw a fit...until they tasted it. Now they make it in their own homes. The marinade makes the turkey moist and flavorful. Using a turkey breast is a nice change from preparing a whole turkey.
