Turkey Breast Basting Sauce



First Turkey Breast I have ever done...and I must say, I should have done my own turkey years ago. One of my old neighbors always did the turkey in a bag for our shared Thanksgiving dinner.  None of us had the heart to tell her that it was always dry, mealy and pale. Meanwhile, I would do the pork roast and ham for the dinner.

So, don't be lazy and use that bag! Tent foil your bird and baste it often. This turkey breast is absolutely delicious, juicy and brown (so says hubbie, daughter and company).  This came out so mahvelous, so I am sharing the basting sauce with you.  Bon Appetit!
