Note
Ensure the turkey breast is completely thawed before cooking for even heat distribution.
The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the turkey breast (4 to 7 lbs). Always rely on the internal temperature rather than time alone for food safety.
Do not use the oven bag for microwave cooking or broiling.
For a richer gravy, you can add a splash of chicken broth instead of all water.
Leftover turkey and gravy can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
