Method
-
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). - Prepare the Turkey Breast:
Lay the turkey breast flat on a clean surface. Using a sharp knife, butterfly the turkey breast by slicing it horizontally, leaving one long edge intact, so you can open it like a book. - Season the Turkey:
In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, chopped thyme, rosemary, sage, salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and juice. Spread this herb mixture evenly over the opened turkey breast. - Roll and Tie the Turkey:
Roll up the turkey breast tightly from one end to the other. Secure the roll by tying it with kitchen twine at regular intervals. - Prepare the Vegetables:
In a roasting pan, spread the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Place the rolled and tied turkey breast on top of the vegetables. - Roast the Turkey:
Roast the turkey in the preheated oven for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) when measured with a meat thermometer. Baste the turkey with pan juices every 30 minutes to keep it moist. - Rest and Carve:
Once the turkey is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest on a cutting board, covered loosely with foil, for about 15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a succulent roast. - Make Gravy:
While the turkey is resting, use the pan drippings and vegetables to make a flavorful gravy. Strain the pan juices, removing the solids, and then simmer them with a bit of flour and the chicken or vegetable broth until thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. - Carve and Serve:
Remove the twine from the turkey roll and slice it into rounds. Serve the sliced turkey with the savory gravy and your favorite side dishes.
Pro Tips- Even Thickness: Aim for an even thickness when rolling the turkey breast for consistent cooking.
- Flavor Infusion: Marinate the turkey in the herb mixture overnight for a deeper flavor infusion.
- Perfect Roasting: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F) for safe and juicy results.
- Resting Period: Let the turkey rest before slicing; this ensures the juices redistribute, resulting in a moist roast.
- Garnish Gracefully: Garnish the platter with additional fresh herbs and citrus slices for an elegant presentation.
