Turkey breast becomes uniquely tender from cooking under pressure with a juicy interior and soft texture. I paired it with a blood orange gastrique for flavor and color.

Ingredients

  • turkey breast half (with bones and skin): 1 piece (2 pound)
  • kosher salt: 2 tsp (divided, to taste)
  • thyme sprigs: 2 piece (fresh)
  • sage sprigs: 2 piece (fresh)
  • unsalted butter: 2 Tbsp (cut into 1/2 inch cubes)
  • white sugar: 0.5 cup
  • champagne vinegar: 0.5 cup
  • blood orange juice: 2 cups
  • grapeseed oil: 1 tsp
  • ground black pepper: 0.75 tsp

  2. Season turkey breast evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and transfer to a large vacuum-sealable bag; arrange thyme sprigs, sage sprigs, and butter cubes around turkey breast in the bag. Seal bag with a vacuum sealer according to manufacturer's directions. Transfer vacuum-sealed turkey breast to warm water bath with thermocirculator, cover vessel with aluminum foil to reduce evaporation, and cook for 2 hours.

  3. While turkey is cooking, cook sugar in a medium nonstick pan over medium heat, without stirring, until deeply caramelized, 6 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to low and carefully add vinegar (mixture will begin to boil immediately and sugar will crystalize), and cook, stirring frequently, until sugar is completely dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes. Add blood orange juice, increase heat to medium-high, and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until bubbles begin to thicken slightly and mixture becomes syrup-like in consistency, 10 to 12 minutes; season with salt to taste. Remove blood orange mixture (gastrique) from heat and set aside at room temperature to cool slightly until ready to use.

  5. Remove turkey breast from bag and transfer to a rimmed sheet pan lined with aluminum foil and fitted with a wire rack; discard contents remaining in bag (the meat will be at 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) when pulled from water bath).
