Ingredients

• 4 pounds boneless turkey breast
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup yellow onion, diced
• 1 cup celery stalks, diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh sage leaves, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 6 cups day-old bread cubes
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Rub 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary, and 1 tablespoon chopped thyme evenly over the 4-pound boneless turkey breast. Place it on a roasting pan and roast for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
2. Step 2: While the turkey roasts, melt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 cup diced yellow onion and 1 cup diced celery, sauté for 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
3. Step 3: Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage, cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Step 4: Transfer the sautéed vegetables and herbs to a large mixing bowl with 6 cups day-old bread cubes. Pour in 2 cups chicken broth gradually while mixing until the stuffing is moist but not soggy. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
5. Step 5: Transfer the stuffing to a greased baking dish and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes until golden on top, serving alongside the sliced roasted turkey breast.
