The Thanksgiving crowd may be a bit smaller this year, so a simple turkey breast can do the trick. No need to battle with a whole turkey when you can have this easy dinner with turkey and fixings all in one pan. For a family of four, you’ll even have plenty of leftovers.
Ingredients
-
1 bone-in turkey breast (6 lbs), skin removed
-
3 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
-
2 garlic cloves, minced fine
-
1 Tbsp chopped fresh sage
-
1 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme
-
1 tsp salt
-
Black pepper to taste
-
2 onions, cut into 4 wedges
-
3 carrots, sliced lengthwise
-
3 celery stalks, sliced lengthwise
-
1 lb small red potatoes, halved
-
4 small parsnips, sliced lengthwise
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°. Rinse the turkey breast and pat dry. In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, sage, thyme, salt and pepper to taste and rub the mixture onto the turkey breast.
In a large roasting pan, arrange the onions, carrots, celery, potatoes and parsnips. Arrange the turkey over the vegetables. Roast in the middle of the oven until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast registers 165° and the juices run clear when a paring knife is poked in the thickest part of the breast, about 1 3/4 to 2 hours. Remove the turkey and transfer to a cutting board and let rest.
If needed, return the vegetables to the oven and roast for about 30 minutes, or until tender.
