Directions:

Preheat oven to 325°. With fingers, carefully loosen the skin from both sides of turkey breast.

Combine lemon juice and oil; brush under the skin.

Combine the pepper, rosemary, thyme and garlic salt; rub over turkey.

Place onion and celery in a 3-qt. baking dish. Top with turkey breast, skin side up. Pour wine into the dish.

Bake, uncovered, 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until a thermometer reads 170°. (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns too quickly.)
