stuffed turkey breast

This Stuffed Turkey Breast roasts in only 60 minutes, has juicy, tender meat and is a Thanksgiving showstopper with its Cranberry Pecan Stuffing and easy Apple Cider Gravy!

Stuffed Turkey Breast

lbs boneless turkey breast (skin removed)

salt

tsp pepper

Tbsp olive oil (divided)

onions

garlic (minced)

bread

cranberries

pecans (toasted)

½ Tbsp chopped fresh sage (divided)

chicken broth (divided)

apple cider

Tbsp cider vinegar

cornstarch

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Butterfly the turkey breast by slicing the meat horizontally, cutting almost to the other side. Open it like a book and place it between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound with a meat mallet to a thickness of about 1/2 inch and season on both sides with salt and pepper.

Chop one onion and thinly slice the other onion into half-moons. In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp oil over medium heat and cook the chopped onion, stirring, until golden, about 8-10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Add the bread, cranberries, toasted pecans, 2 Tbsp sage, and about 1/2 cup broth (stuffing should be moist, not wet). Cook over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove from the heat.

Spread the stuffing over one side of the turkey breast, leaving 2 inches uncovered on all sides. Roll up and secure tightly with kitchen twine.

Heat the remaining oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Sear the stuffed turkey breast on all sides until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Sprinkle the sliced onion around the turkey, pour in 1 1/2 cups broth, cover tightly with a lid or aluminum foil and roast in the oven for 45-60 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees in the thickest part. Remove from the oven, transfer to a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil.

In the roasting pan set on the stove over medium heat, combine apple cider, remaining broth (1/2 cup), vinegar, and 2 tsp sage. Bring to a boil, and cook until the liquid is reduced by one-third, about 10 minutes. Slowly add the cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly, and cook for 3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Remove the twine from the turkey breast and cut it into slices. Serve with the gravy on the side.

This Turkey Roulade with Cranberry Stuffing and gravy is the perfect Thanksgiving or Holiday meal for a smaller gathering.

An egg is the organic vessel containing the zygote in which an animal embryo develops until it can survive on its own, at which point the animal hatches. An egg results from fertilization of an ovum. Most arthropods, vertebrates, and mollusks lay eggs, although some do not, such as scorpions and most mammals. Reproductive structures...

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

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.

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.

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.

For the Cranberry Stuffing:

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

Trim the fat and remove the tenderloin.

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

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

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.

Roll it jelly roll style and top with the skin.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

For The Turkey Breast:

Made this for the first time the other day. Amazing flavor. Definately making this again soon!

We made your cranberry stuffed turkey roll for Thanksgiving I just wanted to let you know this was absolutely wonderful even my husband liked it he said it was better than any turkey recipe we've dohe rests me with done so I just wanted to let you know how great it was thank you so much for that great recipe

Excellent! Definitely worth the effort. Making for a second time in less than 2 weeks!

So good! I didn’t have dried cranberries so I subbed fresh sliced in half and added it to the celery and onion as I made the stuffing. Turned out moist and yummy! 

This recipe was amazing. Moist and flavorful I highly recommend this to all. Unfortunately, my sous chef , my partner, and I did not communicate very well and purchased a bone in turkey breast but we learned how to debone it.  But it all worked out and it was truly a wonderful pre Thanksgiving turkey.
