Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (2–3 lb) boneless turkey breast, skin-on
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter

Method
 

  1. Pat turkey dry, season with salt and pepper, and add thyme, garlic, and butter. Seal in a bag.
  2. Set sous vide to 145°F (63°C) and cook the bagged turkey for 2 to 3 hours.
  3. Remove turkey and pat skin side completely dry with paper towels.
  4. Sear skin-side down in a hot oiled skillet until deep golden, about 3 minutes.
  5. Slice across the grain, plate, and spoon over the skillet drippings.

Notes

The cook time is very forgiving, so you can leave the turkey in the bath up to an hour past the upper range without any loss of quality. If your bag floats, place a heavy spoon or a sous vide weight on top to keep it submerged.
