 Ingredients List

  • 1 fresh turkey breast, rinsed and patted dry
  • 1 oven bag for turkey, 8 to 24 pound size
  • vegetable oil spray
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 large vidalia onion, coarsely chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, coarsely chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and coarsely chopped
  • 1 stick softened butter
  • 2 tablespoons of salt
  • 2 tablespoons garlic pepper
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon sage

 Directions

1 ”“ Preheat oven to 350°F.
2 ”“ Shake flour in oven bag; place in large roasting pan at least 2 inches deep. To reduce having the turkey stick to the bag, spray inside of bag with nonstick spray.
3 ”“ Chop onions, celery and carrots and place in oven bag. Rub softened butter liberally all over turkey. Sprinkle salt, garlic pepper, thyme, and sage all over turkey (inside too!).
4 ”“ Place turkey in oven bag on top of vegetables. Close oven bag with nylon tie; cut six 1/2- inch slits in top. I recommend inserting a meat thermometer through slit in bag into the turkey to monitor cooking temperature. Tuck ends of bag in pan, careful that bag is not overhanging pan.
5 ”“ Bake approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours or until meat thermometer reads 165°F. Note: I allow a little more time so that I can brown the top of the bird to a beautiful, golden color. Don”™t be afraid to use your broiler at the very end, if necessary. Just don”™t walk away from it if you do.
7 ”“ Allow turkey to stand in bag for 15 minutes before opening and carvings. Reserve bag liquid for gravy.
