Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
2. Sprinkle the turkey breast inside and out with salt, pepper, lemon juice, oil, thyme and chili powder. Place the breast skin side up in a roasting pan and spread around the onion, celery, carrots, bay leaf and garlic. Place in the oven and bake 30 minutes and cover with foil.
3. Reduce the heat to 425 degrees. Continue roasting for 15 minutes, basting every 5 minutes.
4. Remove the turkey breast from the roasting pan and pour off most of the fat from the pan. Return the breast to the pan skin side up and pour the broth around it. Continue roasting for 10 minutes, basting.
5. Remove from the oven, cover with foil and let stand in a warm place for 15 minutes before carving. Carve and serve with the pan gravy.
