The oven bag does all the hard work here, and the results speak for themselves.
A 4 to 7 pound turkey breast gets seasoned with salt and pepper, then sealed inside an oven bag with turkey gravy mix, water, flour, and quartered onions.
As the breast roasts, the bag traps all that steam and flavor, basting the turkey from every angle while the gravy mix and onion juices create a rich, savory sauce at the bottom.
After about an hour and a half, you’ve got a gorgeously moist turkey breast and a pan full of ready-to-pour gravy without ever lifting a spoon.
Let it rest in the bag for 15 minutes before slicing for the juiciest results.
Kitchen Tips
- The flour in the bag prevents it from bursting; never skip this step
- Quartered onions add sweetness and body to the gravy as they break down during roasting
- Use a meat thermometer through one of the slits to check for doneness without opening the bag
- This method works beautifully for a smaller holiday gathering when a whole turkey is too much
