Seared Turkey Breast With Roasted Root Vegetables And Chardonnay Gravy Recipes

ROASTED TURKEY AND ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Coat the entire turkey breast in about half of the BBQ Chip Dust. Place on a sheet pan fitted with a rack and let it dry brine in the fridge, uncovered, for 8 hours and up to overnight.
• Install an air fryer searing plate in an air fryer and set the temperature to 400 degrees F for 35 minutes for the plate to preheat.
• In a large bowl, toss the parsnips, sweet potatoes and baby potatoes with the avocado oil. Sprinkle with the remaining BBQ Chip Dust and toss until coated.
• Remove the searing plate and place the turkey breast skin-side down on one side. Arrange the vegetables on the other side. Cook until the turkey skin is golden brown, about 5 minutes (see Cook's Note). Flip the turkey breast and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165 degrees F and the root vegetables are tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes.
• Carefully remove the rib bone (if there is one) from the turkey breast and carve. Serve with the root vegetables.
• Combine the brown sugar, salt, chile powder, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder and cayenne in a small bowl and mix until blended. Use immediately or transfer to an airtight resealable container.

TURKEY WITH CHARDONNAY AND HERBS

Steps:

• Combine first 5 ingredients in small bowl. Let stand 1 hour. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Preheat oven to 350#176;F. Place carrots, celery and onions in bottom of large roasting pan. Roll leg-thigh pieces of turkey into loaf shapes and tie with string at 1 1/2-inch intervals to hold shape. Rub herb-oil mixture over all turkey pieces. Season turkey with salt and pepper. Place turkey pieces atop vegetables. Pour wine and 1 cup broth around turkey in pan. Bake until leg-thigh pieces register 180°F on thermometer and breast pieces register 170°F on thermometer, basting occasionally with pan juices, about 1 hour 45 minutes. Transfer turkey to platter. Tent with foil to keep warm.
• Strain pan juices into large glass measuring cup. Spoon fat from pan juices. Add enough remaining broth to measure 6 cups liquid. Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and stir 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in pan juices and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened to sauce consistency, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove string from leg-thigh pieces. Slice all turkey pieces. Arrange slices on platter; serve, passing gravy separately.

ROAST TURKEY BREAST AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Rinse turkey breast; pat dry. Rub breast with salt and pepper.
• Strew roasting pan with onions, carrots, and celery; set turkey over vegetables. Roast until breast is cooked through, about 1 1/2 hours; interior temperature should be about 170 degrees.
• Cut breast in half; transfer one half to a cutting board, tent with foil to warm, and set aside. Reserve other half for later use.
• Place roasting pan over two medium-hot burners on range. Sprinkle cooked vegetables and drippings with flour, and cook, stirring constantly, until flour forms a golden-brown film over bottom of roasting pan and vegetables are completely coated with film and turkey drippings, 2 to 3 minutes. Do not let pan get too hot, or drippings will burn.
• Pour Madeira slowly into pan, and cook, scraping up film from pan with a wooden spoon until a thin paste forms, about 1 minute. Slowly add stock, stirring, until paste thins to a thick liquid. Continue adding stock, stirring, until gravy is desired consistency. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and a splash more Madeira, if desired. Strain gravy, pressing down on solids with a rubber spatula to extract juices and flavor. Discard solids; transfer gravy to the top of a double boiler to keep warm, or let cool and refrigerate.
