Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Remove necks and giblets and put into a large saucepan. Add onions, 2 carrots, 2 celery stalks, and the chicken stock. Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce the heat and let simmer until reduced to about 2 cups. Strain and reserve; this is the turkey stock that you will use for the gravy.
- Wash the turkeys, inside and out, and dry well. Coat inside and out with half of the olive oil. Season each turkey on the outside generously with the spice rub, pressing it in to adhere. Place 4 rosemary sprigs and 2 lemon halves inside the cavity of each turkey.
- Arrange 4 of the halved carrots and 4 celery stalks on each of 2 half-sheet pans or baking sheets. Position each turkey on top of the carrots and celery so that the turkey does not rest directly on the bottom of the pan. Drizzle turkeys with remaining olive oil.
- Roast until an instant-read thermometer (inserted deep into the thigh but away from the bone) reads 165 degrees F and juices in the thigh run clear when pierced with a fork, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours; begin checking at 2 hours. Remove from the pans and let rest for 15 minutes before carving. Reserve pan juices for gravy.
- While turkeys are resting, make the gravy. In a medium heavy saucepan, cook flour and butter over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, or until a blond roux is formed. Add pan juices and then reserved turkey stock and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and let simmer until thickened and ready to serve.
- Carve turkey as desired and serve with gravy.
- Put the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and peppercorns in a heavy pan over medium heat. Watch carefully, tossing frequently so the seeds toast evenly. When light brown and fragrant, pour the seeds onto a plate to cool. They must be cool before grinding, or they will gum up the blades.
- Pour the seeds into a blender and add the salt. Blend to a fine powder, shaking the blender occasionally to redistribute the seeds. Store in a tightly sealed glass jar in a cool, dry place, or freeze.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mustard, garlic, cumin, oregano, allspice, chili powder, brown sugar and oil. Place the turkey breast in a 9 by13-inch roasting pan. Spread the mustard mixture over the top and sides of the turkey to form a crust. Add the onions, carrots, and chicken stock to the pan. Roast for 45 minutes. Cover the pan loosely with foil and continue to bake for another 45 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 175 degrees F. Allow the turkey to rest for 20 minutes before serving.
- Remove the vegetables and arrange on a serving platter. Remove the turkey and place on a cutting board. Pour about 1/2 cup of the pan juices into a small saucepan. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Whisk in the remaining pan juices. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens. Season the pan juices with salt and pepper and pour into a serving pitcher.
- To serve, slice the turkey into 1/4-inch slices. Arrange the turkey slices on the serving platter with the roasted vegetables and serve with the pan juices.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Cut along 1 side of the breastbone, and then down along the ribs; gently pull and cut the meat away from the bone to cut the breast off the carcass. Do the same to remove the other breast.
- Season the turkey breasts on both sides with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Put a large roasting pan on the stove over medium heat and get it good and hot. Drizzle the pan with a 3-count of oil. Add a few sage leaves and stir to flavor the oil. Lay the breasts in the hot oil, skin-side down and cook for about 5 minutes until the skin begins to set and crisp. Flip the breasts over and push them off to 1 side.
- Add the shallots, carrots, and handful of sage leaves to the pan and stir to coat with the oil. Sprinkle the vegetables with salt and pepper. Stick the pan in the hot oven and roast for about 30 minutes until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 160 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, and the shallots and carrots are tender and browned.
- Remove the turkey and the vegetables to a serving platter and set aside. Now work on the gravy: Put the roasting pan over 2 burners, over medium heat. Stir in the flour with a wooden spoon. Then gradually stir in the stock, scraping the bottom of the pan to pick up all of the browned bits. Give the gravy a squeeze of lemon and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Slice the turkey and serve with the gravy.

Tips:
- Choose the right turkey breast: Look for a turkey breast that is between 5 and 7 pounds. A larger turkey breast will take longer to cook.
- Make sure the turkey breast is thawed before cooking: If the turkey breast is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator for 24 hours before cooking. You can also thaw the turkey breast in a sink of cold water for about 30 minutes per pound.
- Use a good quality spice rub: The spice rub is what gives the turkey breast its flavor. Make sure to use a spice rub that you like the taste of.
- Roast the turkey breast at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin. Roast the turkey breast at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and continue to roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the turkey breast reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the turkey breast rest before carving: This will help to keep the juices in the turkey breast. Let the turkey breast rest for 10 minutes before carving.
Conclusion:
Spice rubbed turkey breast with roasted carrots is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The turkey breast is juicy and flavorful, and the roasted carrots are sweet and caramelized. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
