  1.  When    the turkey  is  done,   remove  the Dutch   oven    and

    baking sheet from the oven. Carefully transfer the legs to
    a large plate and tent loosely with foil. Strain the cooking
    liquid and add to the gravy; discard the solids.



  2. Wipe the Dutch oven dry, add the butter, and heat over
    high heat until melted and browned. Add the turkey
    breast and cook, turning occasionally, until all sides are
    browned, about 8 minutes. Add to the plate with the legs,
    tent with foil, and allow to rest for 30 minutes before
    carving and serving with the gravy.
