• 1 Celery stalk, chopped
• 1 Bay leaf
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet or wide saucepan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, minced garlic, carrot rounds, and chopped celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Sprinkle the paprika over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute to release its aroma.

Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 5

Season the turkey breast on both sides with salt and pepper, then carefully place it into the simmering broth.

Step 6

Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover the skillet with a lid, and poach the turkey for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C) on a meat thermometer.

Step 7

Once cooked, remove the turkey breast from the broth and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 8

Serve the sliced turkey with the poaching broth and vegetables, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
