Ingredients

• 1 6 lb. bone-in turkey breast 5 to 6 pounds
• 1 medium onion quartered
• 2 celery ribs sliced
• 4 Chive stalks with roots cut off
• 1 cup water
• 2 Tbsp. olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon-pepper seasoning
• 1&1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1&1/2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoon rubbed sage
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup water
• 1 chicken bouillon cube

Instructions

• Put the turkey breast on the bottom of your roasting pan
• Place the onion, celery, and chives around the breast
• Add water to the bottom of the pan
• Rub olive oil over the breast
• Mix the spices, lemeon-pepper, garlic, onion powder, sage and paprika
• Lift up the skin from the breast, rub a little more olive oil directly over the breast
• Rub some of the dry herb rub over the breast
• Place the skin back down and then rub the the rest of the dry rub over the turkey breast skin
• Roast uncovered, in the oven at 325 degrees, basting about every 30 minutes
• Bake for about 2 &1/2 hours, or until the internal temperature of the breast reaches 170 degrees
• Remove the turkey from the oven and let the turkey rest while you prepare the gravy
• Making the Gravy…
• Remove the vegetables from the pan
• If there is some dried up broth at the bottom of your roasting pan, add a little water to that and stir it to reconstitute the dried up broth
• In a medium size sauce pan, add the STRAINED juices from the turkey pan
• Because some juices will have evaporated, make a flour and water mixture with about 1/2 cup of water and the 2 Tbsp. of flour
• Add that to the juices from the turkey
• Add the bouillon cube
• Whisk together, and boil until thickened
• Slice turkey breast and serve with gravy
