This roasted turkey breast with mashed potatoes and gravy dish is a perfect meal for any special occasion. The tender and juicy turkey breast is roasted to perfection and served with creamy mashed potatoes and savory gravy. It's a classic and comforting meal that will surely satisfy your cravings.
To make the roasted turkey breast, preheat your oven to 350°F. Rinse and pat dry a boneless turkey breast, then rub it with a mixture of melted butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Place the turkey breast on a roasting pan and bake it for about 1 hour and 30 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it.
For the creamy mashed potatoes, peel and chop 4-5 medium-sized potatoes and boil them in salted water until tender. Drain the potatoes and mash them with a potato masher or a fork. Add some butter, milk, salt, and pepper to taste, and continue mashing until you reach a creamy consistency.
To make the savory gravy, melt 2-3 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of flour and whisk until smooth. Gradually pour in 1 cup of chicken broth and 1 cup of milk, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried thyme, and simmer for a few minutes until the flavors meld together.
To serve, arrange the sliced turkey breast on a platter, spoon the mashed potatoes beside it, and pour the savory gravy over the top. Garnish with fresh thyme sprigs and enjoy!
