Como fazer Make Ahead Turkey Breast With Herb Stuffing Cooking Light
- **Day Before:**
- **Prepare the Stock:** In a large stockpot, combine 1 cup chopped carrots, 1 cup chopped celery, 1 cup chopped onion, 4 sprigs fresh thyme, 2 bay leaves, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 8 cups water.
- Bring to a boil. Add a 3-4 pound boneless turkey breast.
- Return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, or until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 170°F (77°C).
- Carefully remove the turkey breast from the stock. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl. Discard solids. Return the stock to the pot.
- Reduce the stock over medium heat until it reduces to 2 quarts. Cover and chill for at least 8 hours.
- Skim off any solidified fat from the chilled stock before using.
- **Day Of:**
- **Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C).**
- **Prepare the Turkey:** Remove turkey from refrigerator. Rub with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Wrap the turkey tightly in heavy-duty plastic wrap, then foil. Bake for 2 hours or until thoroughly heated (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
- **Prepare the Stuffing:** Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup diced onion and 1 cup diced celery and sauté for 3 minutes.
- Stir in 6 cups cubed bread, 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon sage, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, and 2 1/2 cups of the reserved turkey stock.
- Transfer the stuffing to a greased 13x9 inch baking dish. Bake alongside the turkey for 1 hour and 55 minutes at 250°F (120°C).
- **Prepare the Gravy:** While the turkey and stuffing bake, melt 1/4 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly browned (roux).
- Gradually whisk in 5 1/2 cups of the reserved turkey stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the gravy thickens to 3 cups.
- **Serve:** Once the turkey is cooked, remove it from the oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before removing from foil and plastic wrap. Remove turkey breast halves from the bone and slice. Serve with the herb stuffing and gravy.
