Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Turkey breast
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons Paprika (sweet or smoked)
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Yellow onion, diced
- 1 Carrot, sliced into rounds
- 1 Celery stalk, chopped
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet or wide saucepan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, carrot rounds, and chopped celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Sprinkle the paprika over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute to release its aroma.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Season the turkey breast on both sides with salt and pepper, then carefully place it into the simmering broth.
Lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover the skillet with a lid, and poach the turkey for 30-35 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C) on a meat thermometer.
Once cooked, remove the turkey breast from the broth and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the sliced turkey with the poaching broth and vegetables, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
