14 1/2    ounces        chicken broth
 

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Cut leeks into 1/4-inch slices; place in bottom of Deep Dish Baker. Core and wedge apples using Apple Wedger; add to leeks. 2. Rinse turkey with cold water; pat dry. Place turkey on top of leeks and apples; brush turkey with oil using Pastry Brush. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the seasoning mix. Insert Digital Thermometer into thickest part of breast, not touching bone. 3. Bake 1 hour, 50 minutes to 2 hours, 20 minutes or until thermometer reads 170ºF and juices run clear. Remove turkey breast to Oval Carving Platter Set; loosely tent with aluminum foil. Let stand 10 minutes before carving. 4. Meanwhile, for gravy, strain pan juices through small Colander into small Colander Bowl. Reserve pan juices; discard leeks and apples. Skim off 1 tablespoon fat into Small (2-qt.) Saucepan; add butter. Heat over medium heat until butter is melted; add remaining 1/2 teaspoon seasoning mix. Stir in flour using Nylon Spiral Whisk. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until bubbly. Gradually add remaining pan juices (1/2 cup) and chicken broth; bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. 5. Carve turkey into thin slices using Carving Set; serve with gravy.
