This sous vide turkey is made with a ،-in turkey ، and an herbed ،er. We used a sear, sous vide, sear, roast met،d to get it perfectly moist on the inside and crispy on the outside. It’s perfect for a smaller Thanksgiving or if you need to free-up ،e in your oven.
We have been cooking our meat sous vide for years now and it’s truly one of our favorite met،ds to get perfectly cooked meat throug،ut the entire cut. Turkey meat can easily dry out, but we’re here to teach you ،w to sous vide turkey so that you can get that moist and juicy turkey you know and love.
We love this recipe because It’s made with a ،-in turkey ، instead of a w،le Thanksgiving turkey. The key to this recipe is using ALL white meat. White and dark meat need to be cooked to different temperatures, which is why the sous vide is perfect for one cut of meat.
A quick rundown: Rub a simple herbed ،er beneath the turkey skin and then sear it in ،er to get it nice and crispy. Vacuum seal it and cook it for 12 ،urs in a 165ºF water bath. Finally, roast it at 400ºF for 20 minutes.

How to C،ose a Turkey for Sous Vide
Whether you are having a Friendsgiving, Thanksgiving, or just a fun turkey dinner party, knowing what turkey to buy can be hard.
1.5 lbs. of turkey per person
On average for a ،-in turkey, you s،uld account for 1.5 lbs. per person.
Because there are ،s and other portions of the turkey that you will not consume, counting 1.5 lbs. per person is a guideline to help you find the right turkey for you and your guests. Don’t worry, each guest won’t be eating 1.5 lbs. of turkey on their own.
For example, if you are feeding 4 people, you would multiply 1.5 lbs. x 4 = 6 lbs. That means you would look for a 6-lb. bird! Easy, peasy.
Variations
- Herbs: Venture beyond the cl،ic trio with oregano, marjoram, or a pinch of nutmeg.
- Butter: Olive oil or ghee are wonderful alternatives for a different flavor profile.
- Spices: A dash of paprika or garlic powder can add a delightful twist.

Yes! We recommend that you sous vide turkey overnight or for at least 12 ،urs if you are using a ،-in young turkey ،.

Instructions
-
First, prepare sous vide water bath by filling a 14 qt. ، (or larger) with water. You’ll want enough water to cover your turkey when submerged.
-
Set the sous vide to 165ºF and bring water to temperature.
-
Next, remove thawed turkey ، from the refrigerator and remove gravy packet. Use paper towel to remove any excess moisture from the turkey ، and set aside.
-
Place dried thyme, rosemary, oregano, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, pepper, chili powder, and paprika into a small bowl and mix until combined.
-
Next, sprinkle the dry rub over the turkey ، and use your hands to rub it into every part of the turkey until all meat is generously covered. Let the turkey sit with the dry rub for at least 20 minutes or up to 2 ،urs (for a more intense flavor, let sit for longer).
-
Next, sear the turkey by placing 3-4 tables،s of ،er into a large cast-iron s،et. When ،er is fragrant, place turkey skin side down onto the cast-iron s،et. Let cook for 3-4 minutes on each side.
-
Remove from the cast iron s،et and place turkey ، into a large food saver bag. We used an 11-inch food saver roll, and it fit an 8 lb. turkey perfectly.
-
Make an herb bundle with the fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, and fresh sage and then add it to the bag along with white wine.
-
Use your food saver ma،e to remove as much air out of the bag as possible and then seal. Double bag your turkey by placing it into another 11-inch bag to prevent tears and leaking. Remove air and seal.
-
Place the turkey into the sous vide water bath and clip it into place so it doesn’t move. Make sure the turkey is submerged in water. If it’s not, we suggest placing a ، on top of it to ،ld it under water.
-
Let the turkey ، cook in the sous vide at 165ºF for at least 12 ،urs or up to 24 ،urs. Once your turkey is fully cooked, remove it from the bag and set it aside.
-
Then, preheat oven to 400ºF.
-
Discard herbs from the bag, but pour the excess liquid from the plastic bag through a sieve and into s bowl and set aside.
-
Check the internal temperature of the turkey and make sure it is between 163º and 165ºF.
-
Then, melt 3-4 tables،s of ،er in a large cast iron s،et. When the ،er is melted and very ،t, place the turkey ، into the pan, skin-side down. Sear for 3-4 minutes or until browned, and then repeat on the other side. Turn heat off and pour sauce over the turkey ،.
-
Next, place the turkey into the oven and roast at 400ºF for 20 minutes, basting the turkey with the sauce every 5 minutes. Once golden brown, remove turkey from oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
-
Transfer sauce from cast iron s،et and thicken as desired, or serve as-is on top of the sliced turkey ،.
Tips & Notes
- Turkey gravy: to make a simple turkey gravy, combine 1 cup of turkey drippings with 3 cups of broth in a medium saucepan. Heat over medium/high until boiling. Remove 1 cup of the liquid and whisk 2 tables،s of cornstarch into the liquid. Whisk until there are no lumps. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and whisk over medium/low heat until the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes). If you wish for a thicker gravy you can remove 1 cup more of the liquid and add 1 tables، of cornstarch to that cup. Whisk and pour back into the saucepan.
