Roasted Turkey Breast with Creamy Gravy and Cranberry Pomegranate Sauce image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 full or 2 split boneless skin-on turkey breasts
2 cloves garlic, grated or pasted
1 stick butter, softened
1/4 cup minced fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, thyme and rosemary
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt and black pepper
One 12-ounce bag fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
Pinch salt
1 cinnamon stick
1 strip orange rind
1 pomegranate
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and black pepper
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Steamed greens, for serving

Steps:

  • For the roasted turkey breast: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the turkey on a baking rack over a baking sheet. Combine the garlic and softened butter with the herbs and lemon juice. Slather about 5 tablespoons of the garlic-herb butter over the turkey breast and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, reserving the remaining garlic-herb butter for the gravy. Roast the turkey 45 minutes.
  • For the cranberry pomegranate sauce: Meanwhile, place the cranberries in a medium saucepot with the sugar, salt, cinnamon stick, orange rind and 1 cup water. Bring to boil and cook until all the berries pop and the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. Cool and remove the rind and cinnamon stick. Peel the pomegranate in a bowl of water, separating the seeds, and drain. Add the pomegranate seeds into the sauce.
  • For the creamy gravy: Right before serving the turkey, melt the remaining garlic-herb butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Whisk in the flour, followed by the stock, to thicken. Whisk in the Worcestershire and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the cream and cheese, and keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Slice the roasted turkey breast and serve with the room temperature sauce and warm gravy, with steamed greens on the side.
  • Cook's Note: If the turkey is a make-ahead meal, you will need an extra 1 cup stock for reheating. Place the turkey in a low baking dish with the extra 1 cup stock and loosely cover with foil. Reheat at 350 degrees F 20 to 25 minutes, then crisp up the skin under the broiler.
  • This recipe will result in leftovers for sandwiches.

TURKEY BREAST WITH CRANBERRY SAGE STUFFING



Turkey Breast with Cranberry Sage Stuffing image

Categories     turkey     Side     Bake     Roast     Low Sodium     Cranberry     Sage     Boil

Yield serves 6, 3 ounce turkey and 1/4 cup gravy per serving

Number Of Ingredients 13

Stuffing
1 medium rib of celery, diced
1 leek (white part only) or 1/2 small onion, diced
1/2 6-inch whole-wheat pita, torn into small pieces
1/2 cup dried sweetened cranberries
1/4 cup fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried sage
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 1 1/2-pound boneless, skinless turkey breast, butterflied, all visible fat discarded
1 tablespoon canola or corn oil
2 cups fat-free, low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the stuffing ingredients.
  • If your butcher wouldn't butterfly the turkey breast, cut it lengthwise down the center, almost in half; don't cut completely through it. Lay it out flat between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using the smooth side of a meat mallet or a heavy pan, lightly flatten the turkey, being careful not to tear the meat.
  • Spoon the stuffing down the middle of the turkey. Roll the turkey around the stuffing. Tie at 2-inch intervals with kitchen twine.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • In a Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Brown the turkey for 2 minutes on each side. Pour 2 cups broth over the turkey.
  • Bake, covered, for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the turkey is no longer pink and the internal temperature reaches 170°F. Transfer the turkey to a carving board, leaving the liquid in the Dutch oven. Let the turkey rest while you make the gravy.
  • Bring the broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
  • Meanwhile, put the flour in a small bowl. Pour in the water, whisking to dissolve. Whisk into the boiling broth. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the gravy is thick and bubbly, whisking frequently. Remove from the heat.
  • Slice the turkey into 6 pieces. Serve with the gravy.
  • Cook's Tip on Mesh
  • Kitchen twine is a great way to secure roasts and help them keep their shape while cooking. Butchers use a similar product that is stringlike and stretchy, and with a bit of maneuvering, can easily cover a roast. Many butchers will sell-or perhaps even give-you a small amount of mesh to use at home. For large quantities, check restaurant supply or specialty stores.
