Fresh Herb Turkey Breast image

This recipe I adapted from a magazine Taste of Home's Light & Tasty. The aroma is great and the oil and juice under the skin keep it nice and moist. The chopped veggies add great flavor to the gravy.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The turkey breast was cooked perfectly, but I would add more herbs and spices next time for more flavor.
