When you have a small group and don’t want to fuss, grabbing a frozen, pre-stuffed turkey breast makes sense. It goes straight into the oven with hardly any prep. That leaves you more time for everything else—and dealing with little ones underfoot.

Slow-cooked onions add a deep sweetness, while fresh garlic and a splash of broth keep the taste rich but light. This shortcut lets you enjoy the comfort and tradition of a holiday turkey without spending all day in the kitchen.
