Materials
1
6 lb.

5 to 6 pounds
1

4
Chive stalks
with roots cut off
1
cup

2
Tbsp.

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
