Tbsp Olive Oil

Tbsp Maple syrup (or honey)

Tbsp Lemon

Garlic Cloves (minced)

Tsp black pepper

In a small bowl combine all marinade ingredients.

Place the turkey breast into a gallon ziplock together with the marinade, and mix well through the bag. For best results refrigerate overnight to marinate.

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Transfer the turkey breast to an ovenproof dish or roasting tray and keep it on the counter for about 20 minutes, to get close to room temp.

Place it in the preheated oven and roast until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of turkey registers 170°F, about 60minutes.

Allow it to rest, covered with foil, for 10 minutes before carving.

Turkey breast cooks up easily when you&#x27;re using the Ninja Foodi Grill. This recipe bakes the turkey and then roasts the meat at the very end of the cooking process. The result is crispy, flavorful skin to go along with the juicy meat.

onion (quartered)

celery (coarsely chopped)

carrot (coarsely chopped)

salt

black pepper

butter

sage leaves

Preheat oven to 325ºF. Remove the thawed turkey from the fridge 1 hour before roasting and allow it to come to room temperature. Remove the neck and giblets from inside the cavity of the turkey and set aside.

Place the turkey, breast side up in the roasting pan. Pat the outside and inside of the turkey dry with paper towels. Then stuff the onion, celery, and carrot inside the turkey cavity.

Fold wing tips under the bird. Tie the legs together with twine or dental floss.

Season the inside and outside of the turkey generously with the salt and pepper.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Then add the herbs and cook 1-2 minutes. Remove the herbs with a tong from the melted butter and place inside the turkey.

Use a brush to rub the reserved melted butter all over the turkey, making sure to get the sides. Use your hands to rub some butter underneath the skin as well.

Roast the turkey in the preheated oven uncovered for 15 minutes per pound, or about 3 hours for a 12 pound turkey. A thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 165ºF-170ºF. Remove the turkey from the oven and allow it to rest 15-20 minutes before carving.

Easy Thanksgiving Turkey

Make this easy turkey gravy recipe with five ingredients in minutes. Includes instructions to make it with turkey drippings or without.

Easy Turkey Gravy Recipe

Butter

All-Purpose Flour

Turkey Drippings (or Broth

Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Heat the BUTTER or FAT (from turkey drippings) in a saucepan over medium heat.

Whisk the FLOUR into the fat and cook for a few minutes until it becomes golden brown. The longer this cooks, the darker the gravy will be.

Gradually add the liquid from the TURKEY DRIPPINGS (or broth) in small amounts, whisking continuously to ensure a smooth texture.

Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, or until the gravy reaches desired thickness, stirring as needed.

Season with SALT and PEPPER to your liking and remove from heat.

Serve warm.

Store turkey gravy in an airtight container up to 5 days in the refrigerator and up to 90 days in the freezer (or longer if vacuum sealed).

See recipe footnote for how to strain and skim turkey drippings

Winner!! I used this recipe to make gravy for a community dinner- 300 dinners. Everyone raved about this gravy. It will be used again and again. Hint: Using the turkey fat makes a much more flavorful gravy. Thanks for the recipe!

My gravy turned out perfectly using this recipe. Thanks!

Loved how easy it was, I now make it with broth and it tastes incredible on anything!

This is my go to recipe for making gravy! Thank you for this easy and delicious recipe!

Love this easy turkey gravy recipe! 5 ingredients and ready in minutes. It's now my go-to for a delicious and stress-free gravy every time.

I swear I could skip all the foods on Thanksgiving except the gravy. I'm a gravy fanatic! I always make extra just so I can freeze it and use it in other recipes for the next few months. Usually I just make a turkey breast so there aren't many drippings, so I appreciate that you added the tips. Thanks so much!

I’m the person who always gets tasked with the job of making the turkey gravy with the pan drippings. I use this method every time and it works perfectly every time! I’ve also used your tips for thinning and thickening. Both work great! Love this turkey gravy. Thank you!
