Method
Turkey breast is one of those cuts everyone loves for its lean, clean flavor—but it’s also notorious for drying out the moment you look away. That’s why this sous-vide method is a game changer. By gently cooking the turkey at a precise temperature and infusing it from the inside with a roasted garlic and sage butter injection, you get the best of both worlds: succulent, unbelievably juicy meat and rich, aromatic flavor in every single slice.
This recipe takes a simple turkey breast and elevates it into something special—perfect for holiday feasts, Sunday dinners, or meal prep that feels anything but ordinary. The garlic brings mellow, roasted sweetness; the sage adds an earthy, woodsy depth; and the butter carries it all straight into the heart of the meat. Sous vide locks in that moisture, guaranteeing a turkey breast that’s tender, flavorful, and foolproof.
