Time 2h45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 (12 to 14 lb) whole turkey, thawed if frozen
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 sprigs fresh sage
2 sprigs fresh oregano
1 lemon, halved
2 carrots, halved
4 celery stalks, halved
1 carton (32 oz) Progresso™ chicken broth (4 cups)
4 cups water
2 cups sweetened dried cranberries
1 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage leaves
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup butter
1 carton (32 oz) Progresso™ chicken broth (4 cups)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F. Wash turkey, inside and out and dry well. Coat inside and out with oil. Season turkey on the outside with salt and pepper, pressing it in to adhere. Place 2 rosemary sprigs, 1 thyme sprig, 1 sage sprig, 1 oregano sprig and the lemon halves in turkey cavity. In bottom of large roasting pan, place a cooling or roasting rack. Place seasoned turkey on rack and arrange carrots, celery and the remaining herbs on the bottom of the pan around turkey. Pour 1 carton broth and 4 cups water over vegetables and herbs.
  • Roast uncovered 2 to 2 1/2 hours, basting with pan broth every 30 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer (inserted deep into the thigh but away from the bone) reads at least 165°F. Remove turkey from pan and allow to rest 15 minutes before carving. Strain and reserve pan juices; discard vegetables.
  • Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat cranberries, 1 cup water and the sugar to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes or until cranberries are tender; cool about 5 minutes. In blender, puree cranberries with 2 teaspoons sage until smooth; set aside.
  • While turkey is resting, make cranberry gravy. In 3-quart heavy saucepan, cook flour and butter over medium heat 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly, just until a blond roux forms. Add reserved pan juices, 1 carton broth and the pureed cranberries; heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened and ready to serve.

ROASTED TURKEY BREAST WITH CREAMY GRAVY AND CRANBERRY POMEGRANATE SAUCE



Roasted Turkey Breast with Creamy Gravy and Cranberry Pomegranate Sauce image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 full or 2 split boneless skin-on turkey breasts
2 cloves garlic, grated or pasted
1 stick butter, softened
1/4 cup minced fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, thyme and rosemary
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt and black pepper
One 12-ounce bag fresh cranberries
1 cup sugar
Pinch salt
1 cinnamon stick
1 strip orange rind
1 pomegranate
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and black pepper
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
Steamed greens, for serving

Steps:

  • For the roasted turkey breast: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the turkey on a baking rack over a baking sheet. Combine the garlic and softened butter with the herbs and lemon juice. Slather about 5 tablespoons of the garlic-herb butter over the turkey breast and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, reserving the remaining garlic-herb butter for the gravy. Roast the turkey 45 minutes.
  • For the cranberry pomegranate sauce: Meanwhile, place the cranberries in a medium saucepot with the sugar, salt, cinnamon stick, orange rind and 1 cup water. Bring to boil and cook until all the berries pop and the sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. Cool and remove the rind and cinnamon stick. Peel the pomegranate in a bowl of water, separating the seeds, and drain. Add the pomegranate seeds into the sauce.
  • For the creamy gravy: Right before serving the turkey, melt the remaining garlic-herb butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Whisk in the flour, followed by the stock, to thicken. Whisk in the Worcestershire and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the cream and cheese, and keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Slice the roasted turkey breast and serve with the room temperature sauce and warm gravy, with steamed greens on the side.
  • Cook's Note: If the turkey is a make-ahead meal, you will need an extra 1 cup stock for reheating. Place the turkey in a low baking dish with the extra 1 cup stock and loosely cover with foil. Reheat at 350 degrees F 20 to 25 minutes, then crisp up the skin under the broiler.
  • This recipe will result in leftovers for sandwiches.
