how to make Juicy Boneless Turkey Roast with Herb Tips
Ingredients
- 3 pounds fresh boneless turkey roast, in casing
- 3 large garlic cloves, cut into matchsticks
- 3 large rosemary sprigs, leaves removed and minced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 cups low sodium chicken stock, or water
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Place the turkey roast in a medium roasting pan or Dutch oven.
- Using a paring knife, make 10-15 small slits evenly around the roast. Insert the garlic matchsticks into these slits.
- Rub the turkey roast all over with olive oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly on all sides.
- Take small handfuls of minced rosemary and pat them onto the roast to create an even herb coating.
- Bake the turkey roast uncovered for about 90 minutes. Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer; it should reach 160°F.
- Remove the roast from the oven and cover it. Let it rest for 10 minutes; the internal temperature will rise to 170°F and juices will redistribute.
- Carefully remove the casing using a sharp knife or scissors. Slice the roast and serve warm alongside mashed potatoes and gravy, or cool to use for appetizers or sandwiches.
- Place the roasting pan with the turkey drippings on medium heat. Scrape any rosemary and browned bits left from the casing into the pan for flavor. Discard the casing.
- Pour in chicken stock and bring to a boil, cooking for 5 minutes while whisking to deglaze the pan.
- Add white wine, butter, salt, and pepper. Bring back to a boil, then reduce heat to low-medium and cook for another 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix some hot gravy with cornstarch until smooth. Stir this mixture back into the pan and whisk continuously until the gravy boils again.
- Continue cooking the gravy for 2–3 minutes until it slightly thickens. Serve alongside your turkey roast.
