Here's all of my favorite holiday recipes, all ready to build a balanced plate for Thanksgiving.
Serves: 1 | Serving Size: 1 plate
Roast Turkey
Ingredients:
- 1 turkey breast (5 to 5 and 1/2 lbs)

- 2 stalks celery, cut in half
- Vegetable cooking spray
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of each of the following: lemon pepper seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, and poultry seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 browning bag
Directions:
- Remove and discard the skin from the turkey breast. Rinse the breast and pat it dry with a paper towel. Place the onion and celery into the breast cavity. Spray it all over with cooking spray.
- Combine the lemon-pepper seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, poultry seasoning, and paprika in a bowl, then sprinkle over the turkey breast.
- Place in a browning bag that has been prepared according to package directions, then put the bag in a shallow baking pan and put it into the oven to bake at 325° F for 1 hour, or until the meat thermometer registers 170° F.
- Transfer the breast to a serving platter and let it stand for 15 minutes before carving it into thin slices. Reserve the rest for later use.
