The turkey breast is easy to put together and practically roasts itself. Tender, moist and delicious with a flavorful gravy draped over the top. Loved the recipe. Adapted from the Nov. 1994 Bon Appetit

How to make it
- Directions:
- Combine first 5 ingredients in small bowl. Let stand 1 hour. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
- Preheat oven to 350. Place carrots, celery and onions in bottom of large roasting pan. Rub herb-oil mixture over turkey breast. Season turkey with salt and pepper. Place turkey breast atop vegetables. Pour wine and 1 cup broth around turkey in pan. Bake until turkey breast registers 170°F on thermometer, basting occasionally with pan juices, about 2 hour 30 to 45 minutes. Tent turkey in oven when the breast starts to get medium brown. Transfer turkey to platter.
- Tent with foil to keep warm.
- Strain pan juices into large glass measuring cup. Spoon fat from pan juices. Add enough remaining broth to measure 6 cups liquid. Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and stir 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in pan juices and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened to sauce consistency, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Going to try this next weekend. FYI the ad for QFC has the turkey breasts on sale for 99 cents a lb. I'm going to get another one and put it in the freezer to replace the one I'm going to make with your recipe!
