ROASTED TURKEY WITH CARROTS AND SHALLOTS



Roasted Turkey with Carrots and Shallots image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 turkey breast on the bone (5 to 6 pounds)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 bunch fresh sage leaves
8 shallots, cut in half
1 pound baby carrots
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken stock
1/2 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Cut along 1 side of the breastbone, and then down along the ribs; gently pull and cut the meat away from the bone to cut the breast off the carcass. Do the same to remove the other breast.
  • Season the turkey breasts on both sides with a generous amount of salt and pepper. Put a large roasting pan on the stove over medium heat and get it good and hot. Drizzle the pan with a 3-count of oil. Add a few sage leaves and stir to flavor the oil. Lay the breasts in the hot oil, skin-side down and cook for about 5 minutes until the skin begins to set and crisp. Flip the breasts over and push them off to 1 side.
  • Add the shallots, carrots, and handful of sage leaves to the pan and stir to coat with the oil. Sprinkle the vegetables with salt and pepper. Stick the pan in the hot oven and roast for about 30 minutes until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 160 degrees F on an instant read thermometer, and the shallots and carrots are tender and browned.
  • Remove the turkey and the vegetables to a serving platter and set aside. Now work on the gravy: Put the roasting pan over 2 burners, over medium heat. Stir in the flour with a wooden spoon. Then gradually stir in the stock, scraping the bottom of the pan to pick up all of the browned bits. Give the gravy a squeeze of lemon and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Slice the turkey and serve with the gravy.

Provided by takestu2tango

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Turkey     Breasts

Time 1h50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup butter, softened
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt-free garlic and herb seasoning blend (such as Mrs. Dash®)
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (3 pound) turkey breast with skin
1 teaspoon minced shallot
1 tablespoon butter
1 splash dry white wine
1 cup chicken stock
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons half-and-half

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Mix 1/4 cup butter, garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic and herb seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Place turkey breast with skin side up into a roasting pan. Loosen skin with your fingers; brush half the butter mixture over the turkey breast and underneath the skin. Reserve remaining butter mixture. Tent turkey breast loosely with aluminum foil.
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour; baste turkey breast with remaining butter mixture. Return to oven and roast until the juices run clear and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast, not touching bone, reads 165 degrees F (65 degrees C), about 30 more minutes. Let turkey breast rest 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
  • While turkey is resting, transfer pan drippings to a skillet. Skim off excess grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in skillet. Place skillet over low heat; cook and stir shallot in turkey grease until opaque, about 5 minutes. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in skillet with shallot and whisk in white wine, scraping any browned bits of food from skillet. Whisk in chicken stock and flour until smooth. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened. For a creamier, lighter gravy, whisk in half-and-half.

Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prep the turkey breast and vegetables the day before. Simply rub the turkey with the spice mixture and store it in the refrigerator overnight. Chop the vegetables and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator as well.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure that the turkey breast is cooked perfectly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The turkey is done when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Roast the Vegetables Separately: If you want the vegetables to be crispy, roast them separately from the turkey breast. This will prevent them from getting soggy.
  • Make a Gravy: To make a simple gravy, whisk together the pan drippings from the turkey and vegetables with some chicken broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Sides: This spice-rubbed turkey breast pairs well with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, stuffing, or salad.
