  • 1 tablespoonbutter
  • 1splash dry white wine
  • 1 cupchicken stock
  • 3 tablespoonsall-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoonshalf-and-half

Directions

  1. 1

    Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Mix 1/4 cup butter, garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic and herb seasoning, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl.

  3. 3

    Place turkey breast with skin-side up into a roasting pan. Loosen skin with your fingers; brush 1/2 of the butter mixture over the turkey breast and underneath the skin. Reserve remaining butter mixture. Tent turkey breast loosely with aluminum foil.

  4. 4

    Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour. Baste with remaining butter mixture and return to oven until juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 165°F (74°C), about 30 minutes more. Transfer turkey breast to a cutting board and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    While turkey is resting, transfer pan drippings to a skillet. Skim off excess grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in skillet. Place skillet over low heat; cook and stir shallot in turkey grease until opaque, about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Melt 1 tablespoon butter in skillet with shallot and whisk in white wine, scraping any browned bits of food from skillet. Whisk in chicken stock and flour until smooth. Bring to a simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened. For a creamier, lighter gravy, whisk in half-and-half.
