Turkey Roulade Recipe

Step 1

Stale cubed bread works best here, you can cut the bread the night before and let it sit to harden.

Step 2

If your bread is fresh, preheat the oven and bake the bread cubes on a large baking sheet at 250°F for about 30 minutes, stirring half way until the bread is completely firm.

Step 3

In a large, deep nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the butter; when melted add onion, celery, parsley, sage, turkey or poultry seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper and saute on medium low until soft, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Remove from heat and let cool a few minutes then transfer to a large bowl and add the toasted bread and cranberries. Add broth, egg and mix well.

Step 5

Remove the skin from the turkey breast and set aside keeping the skin in one piece and reserve for later.

Step 6

Trim the fat and remove the tenderloin.

Step 7

Place the turkey breast on a plastic cutting board and butterfly it open (see notes).

Step 8

Then cover the breast with plastic wrap and pound it to about 1/4” thickness in a rectangle shape.

Step 9

Season both sides of the turkey with salt. Spread the stuffing onto the pounded turkey breast leaving a 3/4 inch border around all the edges.

Step 10

Roll it jelly roll style and top with the skin.

Step 11

Cut cooking twine long enough to tie the breast with 4 to 6 pieces of twine.  Cut off extra twine. Spread the butter on top.

Step 12

Preheat oven to 375°F. Set the rack to the center of the oven.

Step 13

Transfer to a baking pan and cover tight with Reynolds Wrap® Heavy Duty Foil. Cook in the center of the oven until an internal temperature in the center of the stuffing reaches 165 degrees, about 45 to 55 minutes.

Step 14

Uncover the foil, then broil on high 5 to 7 minutes until the skin is golden. Allow it to cool 5 minutes while you make the gravy.

Step 15

Combine all the gravy ingredients in a pot along with any pan drippings and bring to a simmer, whisking well over medium-high heat.

Step 16

Cover and simmer over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes  or until thickened. Discard the herbs.

Step 17

Cut off the twine on the breast and slice into 12 slices. Serve with gravy.
