Ingredients

  • 3 pounds frozen boneless turkey roast, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 8 cloves garlic, peeled

  • 1/4 cup white wine, or additional chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
