Oh my gosh! This was absolutely fantastic. It was so very easy to do and tasted divine. I put lemon and orange wedges in the cavity and the smell was heavenly as well as the taste. Thank you so much Chef Meg for a cheap dinner that I can do with plenty left overs for the following week. Can't wait - 8/23/09

Absolutely the best flavored turkey breast I've ever had! From now on all my poultry will have this oil rub on it. I took the skin off after cooking & it was very moist & the lemon flavor was incredible! I put half the lemon in the chest cavity & the other 1/4's under the skin on the breast. - 9/9/09

Very nice way to roast a chicken. I followed the recipe exactly, and it way excellent. The leftovers disappeared so quickly, I wish I had made two! Although I wouldn't freeze one, as cooked meat deteriorates and dries out so quickly in the freezer. Would also be good with fresh sage or thyme. - 10/14/09
