- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F).
- Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast in oven for 5 to 10 minutes (watch carefully as they burn very quickly).

- Sort nuts from skins, discard skins and set nuts aside.
- Zest and juice 1 lemon.
- Place zest, juice, hazelnuts and remaining ingredients, except remaining lemon, into a food processor and pulse until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Thinly slice second lemon and layer into bottom of a lightly oiled shallow baking dish.
- Place turkey breast on top of lemon slices and evenly press nut crust over top of entire breast.
- Bake in oven for 1 hour or until a meat thermometer registers 74 C (165 F).
- If crust starts to brown, cover lightly with a piece of foil or parchment paper.
- Let rest for 5 minutes after removing from oven, slice against grain and serve.
