Ingredients

  • The rind of 1 whole lemon
  • 3 tbsp The Spice People’s Dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp The Spice People’s Whole Peppercorns
  • 1 The Spice People’s Whole Cinnamon Sticks
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 2kg turkey breasts rolled and tied
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup plain flour
  • 6 small whole shallots
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp salt

Directions

  1. Salt your turkey skin well and place in a hot large pot with the olive oil and cook for 5 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Once golden and crispy remove and sauté the garlic and shallots for 2 minutes. Add in your peppercorns, cinnamon, lemon rind, dried thyme and stock and bring to a gentle boil.
  2. Once the stock is bubbling away, place your turkey roll back in. The breast should be submerged about 3/4 in stock. Reduce the heat to low and cook covered for 30 minutes or until the meat is cooked through. This can be indicated by pressing the breast meat gently with your fingers, it is cooked when the meat springs back.
  3. Remove the turkey and set aside to rest whilst you make the gravy. Strain the stock through a sieve and discard of the garlic, shallots and other solids and set aside your liquid. Place the butter and flour in your now empty pot on a low-medium heat and stir constantly until they are combined and form a deep golden brown colour. One your roux is ready and golden, return the stock to the pot and gently whisk until thick and glossy. Serve with our Clove-Studded Ham and favourite sides and enjoy!
