Spoon the stuffing mix into the turkey breast cavity. Place the breast in a cryovac bag drizzle in olive oil, seal the bag, cook in water bath at 63 deg Celsius for 3 hours.
Remove the turkey breast from the bag and seal the turkey breast skin side down in a hot pan until desired colour and burnish.

In a hot pan flambé the bourbon and reduce the turkey stock until thickened and rich.
