- 1 teaspoon salt
- 12 cup lemon juice

- 1 inch piece fresh gingerroot, peeled and sliced (may use 1 1/2 inch piece if you like ginger)
- Rinse the turkey breast with cold water; pat dry.

- Brush the butter mixture over the turkey breast and set aside.

- Place the marinade in a small saucepan.
- Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes.
- Split the marinade in half.
- Use half to baste the turkey and half to serve with the turkey.

- Insert a meat thermometer, making sure it does not touch bone.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 2 hours or until the meat thermometer registers 170 degrees.
