Turkey is a blank canvas. It takes on the flavor of whatever you marinate, glaze or sauce it up with. This tangy glaze is a perfect combo with the succulent and juicy turkey. The best part is that you don’t have to wake up at 4am to cook the turkey!

You can find the rotisserie turkey breast at Jewel, Dominicks or Whole Foods. Now that is something to be thankful for!!!
