This is the only way I'll fix turkey breast from now on! I put the turkey breast in a Reynolds Oven Bag, and threw a quartered onion, apple, and celery in the bottom. (I also would have added a carrot, but didn't have any on hand.) So tender, so juicy - the meat literally fell off the bone! I tried making gravy out of the juices, but unfortunately, it was too salty for our taste. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

    This is an awesome recipe, very easy to do. The turkey breast was moist,and had a great flavor. My family loved it. It made great sandwiches the next day.I didn't use a rack (couldn't find it)I used some cut up carrots and an onion and placed the turkey breast on top of them. Thanks for sharing this recipe

    Updated review: I've made this recipe many times but today was the first time I tried it on the grill and it was superb. I found a really great sale on turkey breasts but it was way too hot to heat up my kitchen with a roast. I couldn't find my rack (DH probably has it in the garage somewhere) so I set the turkey breast on a piece of foil and placed it right on the grill. I used indirect heat, had a 5.25 lb. bird and it took exactly 1 1/2 hours to get a perfect turkey breast. Barb, thanks again for this terrific recipe...I now have both a winter and summer method!

    I have prepared this recipe for turkey breast twice. It is simple, beautiful and delicious. I have to admit that I did not remove the skin...it was so brown and crispy that I couldn't resist eating it! Thank you for sharing
