Seasonings: 1/2 tsp. dill, 1/4 tsp. thyme, 1/4 tsp. basil

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup small green olives stuffed with pimento (cut in half)

  4. Pre-heat oven 10 minutes to 325°F. Line roasting pan with heavy aluminum foil. Place stuffed turkey breast side up in open roasting pan. Grease turkey breast well with shortening. Cover with cheesecloth (large enough to cover bird and drape down sides) moistened completely with water. Roast at 325°F in constant oven and baste at least 3 or 4 times after one and half hours cooking until turkey is done. Do not add water. Remove cheesecloth for the last 20 minutes.
