REVIEW – Butterball Turkey: 4.75 lb Boneless Roast Turkey Breast + Gravy
We have had Butterball turkey breast roasts during the holidays in the past, and they have always turned out great! The last couple of years we have bought Butterball turkey from Costco, which is where we got this 4.75-pound turkey breast from. The Butterball turkey usually isn't very dry (at least compared to other turkeys I have had.. but that could also be due to the way it's prepared).
When we cook the turkey, we usually just season it with sunflower oil or olive oil, and it comes out pretty tasty and tender!
The little gravy packet that comes with the Butterball turkey also works as a good gravy. It isn't the most delicious gravy ever, but it isn't lumpy or watery, and just using the directions on the packet works out fine.
We usually cook our turkey on a gas grill, and it takes about two hours to cook.

The 4.75 lb turkey is a good amount for 4 of us (four adults), and we usually have enough leftovers for a few more meals afterward.

REVIEW – Butterball Turkey: 4.75 lb Boneless Roast Turkey Breast + Gravy
How do you cook a frozen turkey breast with plastic string and a gravy packet. Very disappointing. Never will buy again
I bought this for our Thanksgiving dinner as none of us (8 people) care for dark meat. 30 hours before I cooked it, I rubbed the roast down with a “dry brine rub” of one tablespoon kosher salt and one tablespoon of smoked paprika. I then cooked it for 2-1/2 hours. It was the juiciest turkey we have ever had! As the dry brine doesn’t produce any drippings (it’s all reabsorbed into the meat) I poured the gravy packet in with chicken broth and bouillon, thickened it with flour. It all was a huge success.
