Turkey

Method

Turkey Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Turkey

    Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels, ensuring it's moisture-free for better seasoning.

  3. 3

    Season the Turkey

    Rub the turkey breast with olive oil, then season generously with cracked black pepper, salt, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic, ensuring an even coating.

  4. 4

    Roast the Turkey

    Place the turkey breast in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Baste the turkey every 30 minutes with the pan juices.

  5. 5

    Rest the Turkey

    Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.

Dressing Preparation

  1. 6

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and celery, sautéing until they are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the sautéed onion and celery, bread cubes, chicken broth, parsley, sage, black pepper, salt, and beaten eggs. Mix until evenly combined.

  3. 8

    Transfer to Baking Dish

    Transfer the dressing mixture to a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

  4. 9

    Bake the Dressing

    Bake the dressing in the oven alongside the turkey for about 30-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
