Emeril's Basic Turkey and Gravy

INGREDIENTS

1 3 to 4‑pound	bone-in turkey breast, rinsed and patted dry
2 tablespoons	olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup	celery, chopped
1 cup	carrot, chopped
2 cups	onions, chopped
1/4 cup	all-purpose flour
3 cups	low-sodium chicken broth

PREPARATION:

Method:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Rub the turkey all over with the olive oil, including the cavity of the breast. Season generously with salt and pepper. Scatter the vegetables on the bottom of a roasting pan just large enough to hold the turkey. Set the meat breast-side up in the pan. Roast for 1 3/4 to 2 hours or until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F.
Transfer the turkey to a cutting board, cover and let rest for 30 minutes. Place roasting pan on a burner over medium high heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Whisk in the stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil and cook until gravy has thickened, about 3 minutes. Strain the gravy, discarding the vegetables, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Carve the breast and serve with the gravy.
Editor's Note: Make sure to think green when buying your turkey, and look for locally-grown vegetables.
