This simple preparation of turkey breast results in a juicy, flavorful piece of meat that is perfect for dinner or sliced and piled into a thick sandwich for lunch. The sweet orange slices caramelize as they cook with the turkey, imparting a pleasing, complex flavor that makes this dish unforgettable.

I was wondering what kind of turkey you would recommend to use with this dish? I usually buy the free range turkey at the supermarket as I think this has the best quality, but what kind of meat would you suggest to use for the preparation of this dish? Catering Indianapolis
