step by step

Method

  1. Season the turkey breast

    • Keep the netting on the turkey breast and sprinkle it liberally with salt and cracked black pepper.
    • Season the whole breast with rubbed sage and pat it in well so it sticks.
    Step 1
  2. Insert the sage butter

    • Slice the butter into pats and let it come to room temperature.
    • Lift the netting and push the pats of butter inside, all around the breast.
    • Press and mush the butter down with your hands so it goes into the meat.
    Step 2
  3. Fill the oven bag

    • Place the turkey breast in an oven bag and set it in a roasting pan.
    • Roughly chop the onion, celery with its leaves and carrots, and add them on top of the turkey in the bag.
    • Add fresh sage, then sprinkle more salt and pepper over the top.
    • Tie the bag with the zip tie and cut one slit at the top.
    Step 3
  4. Roast in the oven

    • Move the oven rack to the middle or lower position so the bag does not pop.
    • Bake at 325 °F for 20 minutes per pound.
    Step 4
  5. Rest and serve

    • Let the turkey breast rest so it finishes cooking and stays moist.
    • Slice it and pour the gravy from the bag over the top.
