HERB ROASTED TURKEY BREAST WITH PAN GRAVY



Herb Roasted Turkey Breast with Pan Gravy image

Although sage is the herb most used with turkey, I love the flavor and aroma of fresh bay (laurel) leaves. Fresh bay leaves are now widely available in supermarkets. Since the leaves are a bit woody, and no fun to eat, I baste my turkey with bay-infused butter and roast the breasts right on top of the leaves, which perfumes the meat.

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 small (golf-ball sized) onion, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 lemon, scrubbed clean
12 fresh sage leaves
Large handful fresh flat-leaf parsley (about 1/2 cup, from 12 stems)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for oiling pan
1 teaspoon salt, plus more as needed
6 fresh bay leaves
4 tablespoons butter
2 boneless turkey breast halves, skin on (about 2 to 2 1/2 pounds each)
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup apple or regular brandy (recommended: Calvados)
2 to 3 cups apple cider
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Oil a roasting pan and set it aside.
  • Put the onion into the bowl of a mini food processor. Using a vegetable peeler, peel the zest from the lemon in thin strips, being careful not to cut into the bitter white pith. Add the lemon zest to the food processor and reserve the whole lemon for another use. Chop the onion and lemon zest until fine. Add the sage, parsley, olive oil, and 1 teaspoon salt and pulse until it forms a coarse paste.
  • Put 2 of the bay leaves and the butter into a small pan and heat over medium-low heat until the butter is bubbling. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Put the turkey breasts on a work surface. Carefully run your fingers between the skin and the flesh from 1 end, being careful not to pull it completely off, creating a pocket. Season the turkey breasts generously with salt and pepper. Stuff half of the herb paste under the skin of each breast, and spread it evenly under the skin. Transfer the breasts to the roasting pan, and slide 2 bay leaves underneath each one. (The heat of the pan will release the bay leaf oils and flavor the breast.) Using a pastry brush, baste the breasts with half of the bay butter. Place the turkey in the oven and immediately decrease the temperature to 400 degrees F. After 20 minutes, baste the turkey breasts with the remaining butter, and roast for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, until cooked through, and a thermometer placed in the thickest part of the breast registers 170 degrees F.
  • Remove from the oven, transfer to a platter, cover, and let rest for 10 minutes before carving while you make the gravy.
  • Put the roasting pan over the burner on medium heat. Sprinkle the flour over the pan juices, and cook, stirring, for a few minutes. Add the apple brandy, and scrape the pan to lift the bits that are stuck to the bottom. Cook for a minute to burn off the alcohol, then, while stirring, pour in the apple cider. Bring to a simmer, and stir until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Slice the turkey breast on the diagonal, and serve with warm gravy.

TURKEY BREAST WITH GRAVY



Turkey Breast with Gravy image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 7h50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 gallon water
1 cup kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 (6 to 7) pound turkey breast, on the bone
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Freshly ground black pepper
1 shallot, minced
4 cloves garlic, smashed
1 sprig rosemary, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
1 sprig thyme leaves, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Heat the water, salt, and sugar in a large soup pot over high heat, stirring, until the salt and sugar has dissolved. Cool to room temperature then submerge the turkey breast in the brine. Refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours.
  • Remove the turkey from the brine and discard the brine. Pat the turkey breast dry and set aside. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Brush the turkey breast all over with the butter. Season generously all over with salt and pepper. Put the turkey breast side up in a roasting pan. Roast for 2 to 2 hours and 45 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 170 or 175 degrees F. Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and tent loosely with foil for 30 minutes. (The breast temperature will continue to rise to 180 degrees F as it rests.)
  • Pour any pan drippings into a degreasing cup or small bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the fat discarding the rest and add the separated juices to the stock. Add the reserved fat to the roasting pan and place on a burner over medium-high heat. Add the shallot, garlic, rosemary, thyme, and bay leaf, season with salt and pepper. Cook until shallot is tender, about 3 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make a paste with the butter and flour in a small bowl, set aside. Add the broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil and whisk in the flour mixture. Boil until sauce thickens to make a gravy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning, to taste. Remove and discard the garlic and bay leaf. Serve.

ROAST TURKEY BREAST AND GRAVY



Roast Turkey Breast and Gravy image

Turkey isn't just for serving on Thanksgiving! This is a super simple roast turkey recipe that's delicious any night of the week. Serve with a gravy made from flavorful fortified Madeira wine.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Turkey Recipes

Yield 1 turkey breast and 1 1/2 cups gravy

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 large onions, sliced in half
3 carrots, sliced in half lengthwise
3 stalks celery
1 six-pound turkey breast
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup Madeira wine
2 cups Homemade Chicken Stock, or canned low-sodium chicken broth, skimmed of fat

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Rinse turkey breast; pat dry. Rub breast with salt and pepper.
  • Strew roasting pan with onions, carrots, and celery; set turkey over vegetables. Roast until breast is cooked through, about 1 1/2 hours; interior temperature should be about 170 degrees.
  • Cut breast in half; transfer one half to a cutting board, tent with foil to warm, and set aside. Reserve other half for later use.
  • Place roasting pan over two medium-hot burners on range. Sprinkle cooked vegetables and drippings with flour, and cook, stirring constantly, until flour forms a golden-brown film over bottom of roasting pan and vegetables are completely coated with film and turkey drippings, 2 to 3 minutes. Do not let pan get too hot, or drippings will burn.
  • Pour Madeira slowly into pan, and cook, scraping up film from pan with a wooden spoon until a thin paste forms, about 1 minute. Slowly add stock, stirring, until paste thins to a thick liquid. Continue adding stock, stirring, until gravy is desired consistency. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and a splash more Madeira, if desired. Strain gravy, pressing down on solids with a rubber spatula to extract juices and flavor. Discard solids; transfer gravy to the top of a double boiler to keep warm, or let cool and refrigerate.

1 cup chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped carrot

1/4 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 cups Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)

Steps:

  • Place rack in large rimmed sheet pan. Spray rack and pan with cooking spray. Place turkey breast, skin side up, on rack in pan.
  • In small bowl, mix thyme, garlic, salt and pepper. Rub turkey breast all over with salt mixture. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate 2 hours. Remove plastic wrap; refrigerate uncovered at least 1 hour longer but no longer than 12 hours.
  • Heat oven to 350°F. In 12-inch skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Cook turkey breast skin side down 1 to 3 minutes or until browned; turn and cook 30 to 60 seconds longer or until browned. Remove from heat. Reserve skillet and drippings.

Tips:

  • To ensure that the turkey breast is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The turkey is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check to see if the turkey is done by piercing it with a fork. If the juices run clear, the turkey is done.
  • Let the turkey breast rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey.
  • If you're making gravy, use the drippings from the turkey breast to add extra flavor. Simply whisk the drippings into a mixture of flour and butter, then add milk or chicken broth until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Serve the turkey breast with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce.

Conclusion:

Turkey breast with gravy is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you're a fan of traditional Thanksgiving dinner or you're looking for a new way to enjoy turkey, this recipe is sure to please.
