Instructions: Season the outside with salt, pepper and paprika, then into the pan breast side DOWN. Combine 2 cups apple juice or cider with 1/2 cup soy sauce and pour that in the pan. Into the oven, then start basting it after 1 hour. Baste every 20-30 min. When a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165F, remove from oven and tent with foil for at least 30 min. (If the liquid runs out, make up more baste. You want to have plenty for the gravy.) and I have the perfect turkey, that even looks like the perfect turkey, first time, every time. and beyond that, you should taste the gravy that this basting sauce makes.

NOTE:
I used apple juice to baste. This makes the most incredible gravy!!! and cooking it breast side down makes for the juiciest turkey breast you have ever tasted.
