Turkey & Duck
Indian Spiced Turkey Breast
Description
Roasting a whole turkey is always tricky, since the breast can dry out while the dark meat finishes cooking. To get around that problem, Melissa Rubel Jacobson roasts turkey breast by itself. With the right amount of cooking, it's always juicy, especially when marinated in a combination of lemon and yogurt.Plus: Ultimate Thanksgiving Guide More Thanksgiving Turkey Recipes
