• 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.

Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• For the turkey: Blend the fresh herbs, salt, and pepper with 1 tablespoon oil and rub over the turkey breast.
• Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add the remaining1 tablespoon oil.

• For the potatoes: Peel and slice the potato on the bias.
• Heat the oil in a saute pan over high heat and heat until just about smoking. (It's important to have high heat so you get a good browning!)

FRIED TURKEY BREASTS WITH CRANBERRY MAYO

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven, add 1/2 cup salt, brown sugar, water, thyme, sage, bay leaves, peppercorns and lemon peel. Bring to a simmer just to dissolve the sugar and salt. Turn off the heat. Stir in the cold buttermilk and lemon juice. Add the turkey breasts. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Remove the turkey from the refrigerator 1 hour before you're ready to cook and allow to come to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pour enough neutral oil into a large Dutch oven to fill 1/3 of the way up the sides of the pot. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees F.
• Combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, 1 tablespoon salt and poultry seasoning in a large bowl. Stir in 1/4 cup of the buttermilk brine a little at a time to make small clumps.
• When the oil is at 350 degrees F, remove the turkey breasts from the brine and dredge well in the flour mixture. Carefully add to the oil. (The oil temperature will drop initially, you want it to settle at about 330 degrees, so adjust the heat accordingly.) Cook, turning occasionally, until the coating is crisp and deeply browned and the internal temperature of the turkey is about 160 degrees F, 15 to 18 minutes depending on the size. (If you have larger size turkey breasts and they are brown before they are cooked through, you can finish for a few minutes in the oven at 350 degrees F .)
• Remove the fried turkey to a cooling rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Let the turkey cool slightly, 5 to 10 minutes.
• While still hot, sprinkle with the sumac, flaky salt and lemon zest.
• Keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.
• To serve, slice the turkey into thick slices against the grain. Serve with the cranberry mayo on the side.
• In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, cranberry sauce, lemon juice and a healthy grinding of black pepper.

TURKEY BREAST WITH CRANBERRY SAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the stuffing ingredients.
• If your butcher wouldn't butterfly the turkey breast, cut it lengthwise down the center, almost in half; don't cut completely through it. Lay it out flat between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using the smooth side of a meat mallet or a heavy pan, lightly flatten the turkey, being careful not to tear the meat.
• Spoon the stuffing down the middle of the turkey. Roll the turkey around the stuffing. Tie at 2-inch intervals with kitchen twine.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In a Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Brown the turkey for 2 minutes on each side. Pour 2 cups broth over the turkey.
• Bake, covered, for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the turkey is no longer pink and the internal temperature reaches 170°F. Transfer the turkey to a carving board, leaving the liquid in the Dutch oven. Let the turkey rest while you make the gravy.
• Bring the broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Meanwhile, put the flour in a small bowl. Pour in the water, whisking to dissolve. Whisk into the boiling broth. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the gravy is thick and bubbly, whisking frequently. Remove from the heat.
• Slice the turkey into 6 pieces. Serve with the gravy.
• Cook's Tip on Mesh
• Kitchen twine is a great way to secure roasts and help them keep their shape while cooking. Butchers use a similar product that is stringlike and stretchy, and with a bit of maneuvering, can easily cover a roast. Many butchers will sell-or perhaps even give-you a small amount of mesh to use at home. For large quantities, check restaurant supply or specialty stores.
