Ingredients:  
1/2 cup Vinegar
1/2 cup Lemon Juice (bottled is fine)
1 Cup Water
1 Stick Butter (use real butter)
1 med. Onion (thinly sliced)
2 stalks Celery (thinly sliced, crosswise)
Turkey or Turkey Breast
Directions:
Directions:
Put all ingredients in a large pot on the stove on low heat. You will need the large pot when you add the rest of the ingredients, cook until the butter has melted and the onions and celery have become soft. Turn off heat. At this point start dumping things you have in the spice section of your cabinet that you think you will like. Example 2 teaspoons of each spice: celery seed, Mrs. Dash, lemon pepper, garlic salt, parsley flakes, poppy seed, white pepper. Just use what you have or what you like, this can vary each time. Lots of spices are good. Sometimes the turkey comes with a packet of gravy and this can be added to the first mixture along with all the above spices. warm the mixture.

Place turkey breast in pan lined with foil cavity side up (this helps contain the sauce and makes clean up easier). Pour Sauce into cavity, stirring as you pour to make sure you get it all. It will over flow, that is fine. Cover with foil and cook at 375 degrees for about 2 hours. Check at this point by puncturing the side with a fork, and if the juice runs clear it is done, if not, continue to cook at 15 min. increments until juice runs clear.

Serve in the juices and store in them and just reheat, it is better if the juice and spices are served with the turkey, not drained off.
