Sous Vide Turkey Breast

This sous vide turkey breast recipe is the ultimate way to ensure moist, succulent poultry without the risk of drying out. By dry-brining the meat with fresh sage and rosemary, you infuse deep savoury notes into every slice, while the precise temperature control of the water bath guarantees a perfect result. It is an excellent choice for a healthy Sunday roast or a sophisticated weekday dinner that feels truly indulgent.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish focuses on high-quality protein and healthy fats from ghee, avoiding the sugary glazes often found in traditional roasts. The final sear in a hot frying pan provides a beautiful golden colour and crisp skin, making it as visually appealing as it is nutritious. Serve with steamed seasonal greens or roasted root vegetables for a balanced, low-carbohydrate meal.

Ingredients for Sous Vide Turkey Breast

  • 2 boneless turkey breast halves (5 1/2-2.7kg total)

  • 4 sage leaves

  • 4 sprigs rosemary

  • 4 cucharaditas de sal kosher

  • 90ml ghee, melted, divided

  • Two (1-gallon) resealable bags

  • a sous vide machine

Place each turkey breast in separate 1-gallon bags. Add 2 sage leaves, 2 rosemary sprigs, and 2 teaspoons salt to each bag. Press out air from bags and seal. Rub outside of bags until herbs and salt are evenly distributed. Chill 8–24 hours.

Preheat sous vide machine to 61°C (this will take about 1 hour). Meanwhile, reserving bags, remove turkey breasts. Rinse under water, and pat dry, and return to bags. Let turkey come to room temperature. Add 2 tablespoons ghee to each bag. Seal each bag, leaving about a 2" opening at one side.

Carefully lower 1 bag into water, holding the small open portion of the bag, until the pressure of the water expels the air around the food. Seal bag completely shut and drop into machine. Cook until interior temperature registers 61°C on an instant-read thermometer (it will never quite reach 61°C), about 3 1/2 hours. Remove bag from machine, then transfer turkey breast to paper towels, discarding herbs. Repeat with remaining bag. Pat breasts dry and let stand at room temperature 10 minutes.

Heat remaining 2 tablespoons ghee in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high until smoking. Cook 1 turkey breast, skin side down, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, then repeat with second breast. Cut breasts crosswise into 1/2" slices.
