Fresh Whole Turkey Breast

Remove plastic netting and package. Drain juices and dry breast with paper towels. Stuff breast if desired. Prepare 2 to 4 cups of stuffing just before using. Fill rib and neck cavities with stuffing. Cover exposed stuffing with aluminum foil. Brush skin with vegetable oil or spray with non-stick cooking spray for best appearance. Additional basting is not necessary.
