Recipe by Katie Aubin from tasty.co

Dinner 2 Hr.

Ingredients

6

6 servings

  • 1.3 g frozen Cajun-style boneless turkey breast with gravy, thawed, 3 pound (
  • kosher salt, to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 stalks celery, cut crosswise into thirds
  • ½ large yellow onion, roughly chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic cloves
  • water, as needed

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, high-walled, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey breast, skin-side down, and sear until golden brown, 4–5 minutes. Flip the turkey breast, then scatter the celery, onion, and garlic around the pan.
  • Transfer the pan to the oven and cook, basting with the pan juices every 30 minutes, until the internal temperature of the turkey breast reaches 165°F (75°C), about 75 minutes. Add water as needed if the bottom of the pan is starting to burn.
  • Remove the turkey from the pan and let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
  • Meanwhile, strain the turkey drippings through a fine-mesh strainer into a liquid measuring cup. Add water to reach 1 cup total liquid.
  • Add the pan drippings and water to a small saucepan, along with the prepared gravy packet. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened, 5–7 minutes.
  • Carve the turkey into ½-inch slices and serve with the gravy.
  • Enjoy!
