Turkey Breast
Turkey Gravy
Method
Preparing the Turkey Breast
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Prepare the Turkey
Rinse the turkey breast under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Season the Turkey
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, rosemary, thyme, and lemon juice. Rub this mixture all over the turkey breast.
Roast the Turkey
Place the turkey breast in a roasting pan, breast side up. Roast in the preheated oven for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Rest the Turkey
Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for at least 20 minutes before carving.
Making the Turkey Gravy
Collect Drippings
After removing the turkey, pour the drippings from the roasting pan into a measuring cup. Skim off excess fat, leaving about 1 tbsp of fat in the pan.
Make the Roux
Add the flour to the pan with the reserved fat and whisk over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
Add Broth and Drippings
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and turkey drippings, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
Season the Gravy
Allow the gravy to simmer for about 5-10 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in chopped parsley.
Serve
Pour the gravy into a serving dish and serve alongside the carved turkey breast.
