Roasted Turkey Breast with Stuffing
Description
Roasted Turkey Breast with Stuffing features a 2.5-pound bone-in, skin-on turkey breast seasoned with a butter mixture infused with dried sage, rosemary, thyme, and salt. The turkey is placed on partially hydrated box stuffing mix within a casserole dish, allowing the stuffing to stay moist from the turkey’s drippings during roasting. The assembly is oven-roasted at 350ºF for about 1.5 hours until the turkey reaches 165ºF internally.
The herb butter penetrates the turkey surface, helping develop flavor and moisture. The stuffing serves as both a bed for roasting and a side dish, enriched by the turkey flavors. Covering any exposed stuffing with foil prevents over-browning during the extended roast.
After resting for 10 to 15 minutes, the turkey can be sliced and served alongside the now-moist stuffing, which has absorbed some of the turkey’s juices, delivering a complementary texture and savory depth.
Ingredients
- 1 oz. box stuffing mix $0.89
- 1.5 cups water $0.00
- 4 Tbsp butter $0.40, room temperature
- 1 tsp sage $0.10, dried
- 1 tsp rosemary $0.10, dried
- 1 tsp thyme $0.10, dried
- 3/4 tsp salt $0.05
- 2.5 lb. turkey breast $12.21, bone-in, skin on
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Add the box of stuffing mix to a bowl, then pour in 1.5 cups warm water. Stir and let the stuffing sit to absorb the water as you prepare the turkey.
- Combine the room temperature butter, sage, rosemary, thyme, and salt in a small bowl.
- Pat the turkey breast dry, then spread the herb butter mixture all over the surface.
- Transfer the stuffing to the bottom of an 8x8-inch casserole dish and place the turkey breast on top. The turkey should cover nearly all of the stuffing. If there is a lot of stuffing exposed, use foil to cover the stuffing mix to prevent it from browning too much during the hour and a half in the oven.
- Transfer the turkey and stuffing to the oven (upper rack) and roast for about 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature of the turkey breast reaches 165ºF.
- After roasting, let the turkey and stuffing rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. The stuffing under the turkey will have absorbed quite a bit of moisture from the turkey, while the stuffing on the edges will be quite crunchy. Simply stir the stuffing together and let it sit for about five minutes to rehydrate the drier pieces before serving.
