Ingredients Needed:

For the Turkey Breast:

• 60g butter, softened
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp salt-free garlic and herb seasoning blend
• Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
• 1.4kg turkey breast with skin

For the Gravy:

• 1 tsp minced shallot
• 15g butter
• 1 splash of dry white wine
• 240ml chicken stock
• 25g all-purpose flour
• 30ml half-and-half (optional, for creamier gravy)

How To Make Turkey Breast Recipe?

1. Make Butter Mixture: Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Mix butter, garlic, paprika, seasoning, salt, and pepper.
2. Prepare Turkey: Put turkey breast in a roasting pan, skin-side up. Loosen the skin, rub half of the butter mix under and over the skin. Cover with foil.
3. Roast: Roast for 1 hour. Baste with the remaining butter and roast for another 30 minutes or until the turkey reaches 65°C (165°F). Let it rest for 10–15 minutes.
4. Make Gravy: In a skillet, heat the pan drippings, cook shallots for 5 minutes. Stir in butter, wine, stock, and flour. Simmer until thick. Add half-and-half for creamier gravy.

Recipe Tips:

• Loosen the Skin: Gently loosen the turkey skin to add the butter mixture underneath. This keeps the turkey juicy.
• Baste Regularly: Baste the turkey with the butter to keep it moist and flavorful.
• Let It Rest: After cooking, let the turkey rest for 10–15 minutes so it’s more tender and juicy.
• Check the Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to make sure the turkey is fully cooked at 65°C (165°F).
• Use the Drippings: Make gravy with the pan drippings for extra flavor. Add some cream for a richer gravy if you like.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Cool the turkey breast to room temperature. Keep it in a sealed container in the fridge for 3 days.
• Freeze: Cool the turkey completely, then freeze it in a safe container for 3 months.
• Reheat: Warm turkey slices with stock in a skillet over low heat, stirring gently.
