Juicy baked turkey breast with a savory Dijon, honey, lemon and herb sauce!
This turkey breast is so good, savory, and can be prepared in under 1 hour. All year long I make turkey breast and have a mini thanksgiving feast a few times a year. I mean why not? We love a good feast in this household, and this recipe is one of my easy go to’s that is packed with so much flavor, not to mention suuuuper easy!
The mustard sauce is absolutely exquisite and I even like to use it as a salad dressing sometimes. In pure thanksgiving spirit here are some of my potato sides, carrots, and easy stuffing balls I love to prepare with turkey breast.
