Healthy Recipe for Diabetes - Turkey Breast with Herb

Ingredients:  (Serves: 16)
1 bone-in turkey breast (8 1/2 pounds)
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
2 tablespoons olive or canola oil, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage

Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F.

2. Loosen skin from turkey with fingers, leaving skin attached along bottom edges. Combine the lemon peel, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon oil, the garlic, salt, thyme and pepper in a small bowl. Spread under turkey skin. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1 tablespoon oil; set aside.

3. Place turkey on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until a meat thermometer inserted in thickest part but not touching the bone registers 170°F, basting every 15 to 20 minutes with lemon mixture. Let stand 10 minutes. Discard skin before carving.
