CAJUN TURKEY AND GRAVY RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the olive oil in a large, high-walled, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey breast, skin-side down, and sear until golden brown, 4-5 minutes. Flip the turkey breast, then scatter the celery, onion, and garlic around the pan.
• Transfer the pan to the oven and cook, basting with the pan juices every 30 minutes, until the internal temperature of the turkey breast reaches 165°F (75°C), about 75 minutes. Add water as needed if the bottom of the pan is starting to burn.
• Remove the turkey from the pan and let rest for 15 minutes before carving.
• Meanwhile, strain the turkey drippings through a fine-mesh strainer into a liquid measuring cup. Add water to reach 1 cup total liquid.
• Add the pan drippings and water to a small saucepan, along with the prepared gravy packet. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened, 5-7 minutes.
• Carve the turkey into ½-inch slices and serve with the gravy.
• Enjoy!
