Roasted Turkey Breast with Blue Cheese Mushroom Gravy

Adding blue cheese to mushroom gravy makes a creamy and flavorful gravy recipe that’s perfect on top of sliced roasted turkey!

In my family, we love to prepare a turkey breast instead of a whole turkey at the holidays.

We have a small family, only 6 of us for Christmas dinner, so making a turkey breast gives us the perfect amount of turkey for everyone!

At Thanksgiving, I made a turkey and served it with Cranberry Jalapeno Relish. For Christmas, I decided to try something totally different and put my own spin on a classic gravy recipe!

While mushrooms aren’t a new addition to gravy, blue cheese certainly is!

I added the cheese to make the creamiest mushroom gravy ever and give it a totally new flavor.

While I’ve never been one to pile the gravy on top of my turkey (I’m more of a cranberry sauce girl!) this recipe has totally changed my mind about gravy forever!

It’s rich, creamy, decadent and so so delicious! I can’t wait to share it with my family this Christmas!

Blue Cheese Mushroom Gravy Ingredients

• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• ½ cup onion (thinly sliced)
• 8 oz crimini or baby bella mushrooms (sliced)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• ½ tsp fresh rosemary (minced)
• ¾ cup turkey broth
• ½ cup brandy
• 1 cup crumbled blue cheese

Blue Cheese Mushroom Gravy Instructions

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté 3-5 minutes.

Add the mushrooms, garlic and rosemary, sauté for an additional 4-5 minutes.

Add the broth and brandy, bring to a boil.

Boil until the liquid is thick enough to coat a spoon lightly, 5-6 minutes.

Add the blue cheese and stir just until the cheese melts, about 1 minute.

Spoon the mushroom gravy over sliced turkey.

Garnish the plate with additional fresh rosemary sprigs for a beautiful dinner presentation!
