You will need to begin this recipe the day before
1kg Turkey Breast Roast (see note)
1 small bunch Thyme
1 small bunch Sage
8 stems Rosemary
¼ cup sea salt
Bertolli Originale Olive Oil, to confit (you will need about 3 x 750ml bottles)
STEP 1
In a small food processor combine ½ bunch thyme, 5 sage leaves and the leaves from 4 stems of rosemary. Add salt and blitz until finely chopped.
STEP 2
Rub the herbed salt all over the turkey, wrap in plastic wrap to enclose & refrigerate for 4 hours to marinate.
STEP 3
Rinse the herbed salt off the turkey & pat dry with a paper towel. Place on a wire rack over a baking tray, then refrigerate overnight to dry for a minimum of 6 hours.
STEP 4
When ready to cook, preheat oven to 120ºC (100ºC fan). Place turkey breast into a small, ovenproof dish which is deep enough for the breast to fit inside completely.
STEP 5
Tuck the remaining herbs in & around the turkey breast, then pour Bertolli Originale Olive Oil over the top of the turkey breast until it is completely submerged.
STEP 6
Place the dish onto a baking tray then transfer to the oven and cook for 2 hours.
STEP 7
Remove tray from oven and allow turkey to cool in the oil for 1 hour before removing.
