I like wild turkey, I like lemon, & I like garlic so, even though it isn’t bare-naked, I thought it would be a good combination with a few other ingredients. I did find that I needed to increase the ingredients due to the size of the turkey breast. You may need to adjust accordingly. I also turned the breast every 2 hours.
The breast was done about 20 minutes ago & to say it tastes good is an understatement. It is fork tender & tastes so good, if you put it on your head, your tongue would slap your face tryin’ to get to it.
