Servings: persons

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small red onion, finely chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
1/2 cup chicken stock
4 cups stale corn bread, crumbled into large pieces
2 large eggs, beaten
One 3 1/2- to 4-pound bone-in turkey breast, halved at the breast bone (see Tips, below)
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
One 1 1/2-ounce container veal or chicken demi-glace
1 tablespoon brandy
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup heavy cream

1
Preheat oven to 425u00b0F and grease 9-by 13-inch roasting pan.
2
In large skillet over moderately high heat, melt butter. Add onion, celery, garlic, nutmeg, pepper, and bay leaf, and saute until vegetables soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in sage and cook 30 seconds more. Stir in stock and simmer, uncovered, until liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.
3
Put corn bread in large bowl and pour vegetables over. Toss to mix well. Add eggs and stir to combine.
4
Rinse breast halves and pat dry. Season generously with kosher or coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper, and rub all over with olive oil.
5
Mound stuffing in center of roasting pan and arrange turkey on top, making sure breast halves aren't touching. Roast until thermometer inserted into thickest part of turkey (do not touch bone) registers 170u00b0F and juices run clear when pierced with fork, 45 to 55 minutes.
6
In small saucepan over moderately high heat, combine demi-glace, 1/2 cup water, and brandy. Bring to boil, stirring until smooth. Stir in butter, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered, stirring often, until gravy thickens, about 1 minute. Stir in cream and season with freshly ground pepper. Serve hot, over turkey and stuffing.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
