Prepare the stuffing by crumbling or cutting the bread into small pieces.

Saute onions and celery in copious amounts of butter, adding salt, black pepper, and cayenne for seasoning.

Moisten the stuffing with hot stock or broth and let it absorb for about 15 minutes.

Add one egg yolk to the stuffing for richness and to help bind it together.

Prepare the turkey breast by cutting down to the bone every three-quarters of an inch.

Season the inside cuts of the turkey breast with salt.

Stuff the turkey breast with the prepared stuffing, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Transfer the stuffed turkey breast onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.

Wipe any residual stuffing off the skin to prevent it from becoming flabby during cooking.

Season the outside of the turkey breast with additional salt and pepper.

Bake the turkey in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for about 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 150°F (65°C).

Brush melted butter on the turkey at the 30-minute mark to enhance browning.

Let the turkey rest for about 10 minutes before carving.
