This Sous Vide Turkey Breast is a foolproof way to get juicy turkey! Well seasoned, with crispy, browned skin and served with apple cider gravy! With step by step video. TIPS! Season well -- the turkey has a lot of time to hang out while it gently cooks, and all of that flavor is going to penetrate the turkey breast for amazing results! Get that crispy skin: after your turkey breast is cooked through with your Anova Sous Vide, we need to crisp the skin. There are two ways to do this: searing in a pan or under the broiler in the oven. I prefer to do mine in the oven, because it's less work and gets great even results, but you can do what works for you! The important thing is that you thoroughly dry it and butter or oil the turkey breast before browning. An hour or two (or a few more!) isn't really going to make a big difference in the quality of the finished product, which gives you a lot of flexibility and peace of mind! You can start your turkey breast when it's convenient for you, and know that you are going to have an amazing meal in the end.

    • Step 5

      When turkey is removed from the oven, move it to a cutting board to rest and strain any remaining juices into a 2 cup liquid measuring cup. Add additional turkey or vegetable broth to make 2 cups.

      In a medium saucepan, melt butter.

    • Step 7

      Stir in the garlic, salt, thyme and pepper. Then whisk in the flour until completely combined.
