How to Make Turkey Breast With Gravy

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. Place the turkey breast in a shallow roasting pan.
  3. Coat the turkey breast with cooking spray or lightly rub with vegetable oil.
  4. Tuck the quartered onion and chopped celery underneath the turkey breast in the cavity.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the sage, thyme, black pepper, and salt.
  6. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the entire turkey breast.
  7. Bake uncovered for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165°F (74°C). Baste the turkey with pan juices every 30 minutes.
  8. Remove the turkey from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful turkey.
  9. While the turkey rests, prepare the gravy. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the flour and 1 cup of water until smooth.
  10. Add the pan drippings from the roasting pan to the flour mixture, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  11. Stir in the chicken bouillon.
  12. Bring the gravy to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes, or until thickened.
  13. Serve the sliced turkey breast with the delicious homemade gravy. Enjoy!
