This sophisticated roast duck-fat turkey breast offers a luxurious twist on a classic poultry dish. By searing the meat in rich duck fat before roasting, you achieve an incredibly crisp, golden skin while keeping the breast meat succulent and tender. The addition of aromatic thyme and garlic in the pan creates a fragrant base that seasons the turkey beautifully as it roasts. It is a wonderful choice for a refined weekend meal or a smaller festive gathering.
To balance the richness of the poultry, this recipe features a vibrant spring onion purée. Simmered in vegetable stock and blended with a touch of cream cheese, the purée provides a fresh, savoury element that cuts through the duck fat perfectly. This dairy-free main is high in protein and serves as a lighter alternative to a traditional roast. Serve with seasonal greens or roasted root vegetables for a complete, homemade feast.

How to make Duck-Fat Turkey Breasts with spring onion Puree
Tillbaka till innehållPreheat the oven to 204°C. Pat turkey breast dry with paper towels and season both sides liberally with salt and pepper.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over very high heat. Add the duck fat to the skillet. When the fat shimmers, add the turkey breast, skin-side down, and cook until dark golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
Remove skillet from heat and remove the turkey from pan. Carefully stir the butter into the pan juices. Arrange the thyme branches in the skillet to make a bed for the turkey. Place the turkey, seared-side-up, on the thyme and sprinkle the garlic around the sides. Baste the turkey, and transfer the pan to the oven.
Roast, basting every 15 minutes, until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast without touching bone registers 68°C, about 1 hour. Baste once more and transfer the turkey to a platter. Let the turkey rest for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
While the turkey roasts, prepare the puree. In a medium saucepan, heat the stock over medium-high, add the spring onions, and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the spring onions to a blender, reserving the cooking liquid. Blend on high until very smooth, about 5 minutes, adding a splash of cooking liquid if necessary to help the blender puree the spring onions. Add the cream cheese and blend for 2 minutes more. Season with salt to taste. Slice the turkey breast across the grain and serve with the green-onion puree.
