Ingredients

• 2 pounds Turkey breast
• 4 medium Carrots
• 3 medium Potatoes
• 3 stalks Celery stalks
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 cups Chicken or turkey broth
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Flour (optional, for thickening)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Peel and chop the carrots and potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Slice the celery into 1-inch pieces and dice the onion into large chunks. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Season the turkey breast with salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and rosemary on all sides.

Step 4

In a large oven-safe pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the turkey breast for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the turkey and set it aside.

Step 5

In the same pot, add the onions, garlic, carrots, potatoes, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened and fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken or turkey broth and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Nestle the browned turkey breast back into the pot, ensuring it is partially submerged in the broth and vegetables.

Step 8

Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Roast for approximately 3.5 to 4 hours, or until the turkey is tender and fully cooked, and the vegetables are soft.

Step 9

If thicker gravy is desired, remove the turkey and vegetables from the pot and whisk 2 tablespoons of flour into the remaining liquid over medium heat until the sauce thickens.

Step 10

Serve the turkey pot roast hot, slicing the turkey breast and spooning the vegetables and gravy over the top.
