Turkey isn't only for the holidays! A turkey breast is good for leftovers and I have learned to make a mean turkey salad from G-daddy. I've 'slimmed' his recipe down a bit and I'll post that later on.
This is an easy turkey breast with extra flavor from oranges and rosemary. I cooked it in a hot oven then turned down the temp. Using a digital thermometer makes it easy as pie.

Orange Rosemary Roasted Turkeycelery stalks
fresh rosemary
fresh thyme
3 small oranges, halved
4-6 pound turkey breast
2 tablespoons olive oil
Herbes de Provence (or salt)
Heat oven to 400°. In a large roasting pan, place 4 orange halves in the corners of the pan and sprigs of rosemary. Stuff the turkey with sprigs of rosemary & thyme, celery, and 2 orange halves. Place the turkey on top of the celery, brush with the oil, and season with 1 tsp Herbes de Provence (or salt).
Roast the turkey at 400° for 20 min, then decrease the oven to 325° and cook until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh registers 165°. (Cover the bird loosely with foil if it browns too quickly.)
I threw some carrots in for the last 30 minutes of roasting... they were perfect.

I have heard cooking and eating with citrus does help you burn more calories and its so healthy, but not sure how much truth there is. Crust on poultry is just a tasty given!
delish!!!! and the carrots with the orange from the chicken drippings...drool!
