“Hi Nagi, I cooked this recipe for Christmas Eve dinner using a full turkey breast buffe. I adjusted the cooking times by weight. It was wonderful. So juicy and delicious. My son-in-law is still raving about the gravy ☺️. And the really great thing is the lefto” — a cook, 5.0★
“Delicious! A challenge in the USA, Unless you go to a butcher and special order,, turkey breasts are sold frozen, and are usually sold essentially as a carcass with the legs and wings removed. And yet, even thought I slightly overlooked it, it was marvelous.” — a cook, 5.0★
