Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare a sheet pan by greasing it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Place the turkey breast in the middle of the pan.

In a bowl, combine 1/3 cup of unsalted butter, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Add 2 tablespoons of fresh herbs (rosemary, parsley, sage) to the butter mixture.

Pat the turkey breast dry with paper towels to help the butter stick.

Spread the butter mixture all over the turkey breast.

Add 6 potatoes to the pan using a method called 'papote' by placing them in parchment paper with some salt and twisting the ends to close it.

Bake the potatoes in the oven for 20 minutes.

Prepare the veggies by tossing Brussels sprouts and baby carrots with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.

After 20 minutes, add the seasoned veggies to the pan with the turkey and potatoes.

Return the pan to the oven for another 20 minutes.

Once done, let the turkey breast rest on a plate covered with foil.

Remove the veggies from the pan, leaving the pan drippings behind for gravy.

Remove the potatoes from their pouch and prepare to mash them.

To make gravy, pour the pan drippings into a pot over medium heat.

Add some beef broth and white wine to the pot and cook until it starts to boil.

Combine 1/4 cup of water with 2 tablespoons of flour and mix to create a slurry.

Add the flour mixture to the gravy and whisk until thickened.
