1 cup turkey broth or chicken broth
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 head garlic cloves, separated, unpeeled
6 plum tomatoes, quartered
1 bag (10 oz) frozen whole small onions
1 box (9 oz) frozen artichoke hearts
2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed
1 bag (10 oz) frozen asparagus spears
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 can (3-1/4 oz) pitted black olives, drained
1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1 bone-in turkey breast (4-6 pounds)

In a 9 X 13-inch baking or shallow roasting pan, combine broth, lemon juice, wine, garlic, onions, rosemary, thyme, fennel seeds, salt and pepper. Cover pan with foil.
