Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 5-5.5 lb whole, bone-in turkey breast
- 4 tablespoon butter, room temperature
- 3 tablespoon all purpose creole seasoning
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 bunch fresh sage leaves
- ½ medium yellow onion, cut into wedges
- 1 small orange (like mandarine) cut into wedges
Instructions
- Add olive oil to dutch oven or cast iron skillet. Place in oven and preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
- Mix butter, creole seasoning, thyme and salt together. Loosen skin on the turkey breasts while still keeping it attached to the turkey. Rub ½ of the butter mixture underneath the turkey's skin, coating as much of the turkey as possible. Pat outside of the turkey dry using a paper towel. Coat the outside of the turkey breasts with the rest of the butter mixture.
- Remove heated skillet from the oven. Place onion, orange, sage in a heap in the bottom of the skillet. Place the buttered turkey over the onion, orange and sage to roast.
- Roast turkey breasts in preheated oven for 1.5 hours or until meat thermometer reads 155° when inserted into the thickest part of the breast without touching the bone. Cover with foil to prevent over browning, if necessary. Let turkey rest 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
