Roasted Turkey Breast with Bread Stuffing

You don’t always have to cook a large turkey for family gatherings or holiday meals. Turkey breasts are often large enough to provide enough delicious meat to satisfy everyone at the table.

Cooking turkey breasts also takes a lot of pressure off the chef because they don’t require as much time or energy to cook. The meat will cook at the same rate throughout, so you only have to reach one final target temperature to get the perfect roast meat. As soon as the turkey reaches 70°C, you can take it out of the oven. 

Ingredients 

1. 1 whole 2kg skin-on turkey breast, patted dry
2. 8 tbsp of butter
3. 3 large eggs
4. 2 loaves of stale, high-quality bread (like French bread) cut into cubes

6. 1 large onion, diced
7. 4 stalks of celery, diced
8. 4 cloves garlic, minced
9. 2 tsp sage leaves

4. Remove the pot from the heat and add half the stock

7. Fill a buttered 9 by 13 baking dish with the stuffing and place the turkey on top
