TURKEY BREAST ROULADE WITH APPLE AND RAISIN STUFFING



Turkey Breast Roulade with Apple and Raisin Stuffing image

A boneless turkey breast is rolled around stuffing with apple and raisins.

Provided by CupcakeSparkles11

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Turkey     Breasts

Time 2h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ cups water
¼ cup butter
⅓ cup raisins
1 (6 ounce) package low sodium stuffing mix (such as Stove Top® Lower Sodium Chicken Flavor)
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
1 apple - peeled, cored, and chopped
1 (6 pound) whole bone-in turkey breast with skin
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning

Steps:

  • Place the water, butter, and raisins into a saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, stir in the stuffing mix, cover, and let stand until the stuffing mixture absorbs the liquid, about 5 minutes. Stir 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning and the apple lightly into the stuffing. Allow the stuffing mixture to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a rack into a roasting pan.
  • Carefully remove the turkey breast skin in one piece without tearing the skin, and set aside. Bone the turkey breast (see notes) keeping the meat in one piece but removing the strip of cartilage and gristle between the two breast halves, if necessary. Pull the two tenderloin sections outward from the main part of the breast, keeping them attached, to expand the boneless piece of turkey into a roughly square-shaped piece of meat. Sprinkle the inside of the breast with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning.
  • Spread the stuffing mixture all over the inside of the breast meat piece, and firmly roll the stuffed breast into a compact roll. Spread the reserved turkey skin out, and place the stuffed roll in the middle of the skin. Pull and roll the skin over the stuffed meat, and tie the stuffed roll together with cooking twine. Place the roll onto the roasting rack with the seam side down.
  • Roast the stuffed breast in the preheated oven until the skin is golden brown, the meat is no longer pink inside, and the temperature of the roll, measured at the thickest part, reads 170 degrees F (75 degrees C), 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Allow the roast to stand covered with a tent of aluminum foil for at least 10 minutes before removing the twine for slicing.

CRANBERRY APPLE RAISIN STUFFING



Cranberry Apple Raisin Stuffing image

This stuffing is great for vegetarians and non-vegetarians. It has a wonderful light and fruity taste. Since most of my family has been vegetarian for 25 years, we make this stuffing in a casserole instead of stuffing it in the turkey. You can, however, stuff the turkey with it and it is just as good!

Apple raisin stuffing is a classic dish that is usually served during the holiday season. It is a flavorful and aromatic stuffing that is perfect for pairing with roasted turkey or chicken. Apple raisin stuffing is typically made with bread, apples, raisins, celery, onions, and a blend of herbs and spices. Although it is a traditional recipe, there are several variations that you can try to make this dish even more delicious.

Ingredients:

The basic ingredients of apple raisin stuffing include bread, apples, raisins, celery, onions, and a mix of herbs and spices. Bread is the primary component of this dish, and you can use any bread of your choice, such as French bread, sourdough bread, or whole wheat bread. Apples add sweetness and flavor to the dish, and you can choose any firm apple that holds its shape when cooked. Raisins provide a chewy texture and add more sweetness to the stuffing. Celery and onions add crunch and flavor, while a blend of herbs and spices such as thyme, sage, rosemary, and cinnamon give this dish an aromatic and savory taste.

Preparation:

To prepare apple raisin stuffing, start by cutting the bread into small cubes and spreading it out on a baking sheet. Bake the bread cubes in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until they are toasted and crispy. Next, heat a large skillet on medium heat and add butter. Once the butter has melted, add the celery and onions and sauté them for 5-7 minutes until they are soft and tender. After that, add the diced apples, raisins, and the mix of herbs and spices to the pan and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes until the apples are cooked but still hold their shape. Finally, add the toasted bread cubes to the pan and mix everything together until the bread is coated in the apple and raisin mixture.

Variations:

There are endless ways to vary the classic apple raisin stuffing recipe. For example, you can use different types of bread such as cornbread, whole-grain bread, or challah bread to add more flavor and texture. You can also mix in additional ingredients such as nuts, sausage, mushrooms, or cranberries to give more depth and complexity to the dish. Some people prefer to use chicken or vegetable broth instead of butter to make the stuffing moist, while others like to add white wine to bring more acidity and complexity to the dish.

Serving:

Apple raisin stuffing is typically served as a side dish alongside roasted turkeys or chicken, but it can also be enjoyed on its own as a vegetarian main dish. You can also pair it with other holiday sides such as mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, or cranberry sauce to create a well-balanced meal. To make the presentation more visually appealing, you can decorate the stuffing with fresh herbs such as parsley, sage, or thyme.

Tips for Making Delicious Apple Raisin Stuffing

Making the perfect apple raisin stuffing can be a challenge, but with some useful tips, you can create a delicious dish that will impress your guests. Here are some valuable tips to help you make the best apple raisin stuffing:
1. Use fresh ingredients
Using fresh ingredients is key when making stuffing. Use fresh apples, preferably tart apples such as Granny Smith, and plump raisins. The bread should also be fresh or stale, but not hard or dried out.
2. Let the bread dry out before using
Dried-out bread is crucial in making stuffing. You can either leave the bread out overnight to dry, or you can cut it up into cubes and bake it in the oven at 350°F until crispy.
3. Don't overstuff the turkey
While it's tempting to fill up the turkey with stuffing, it's not always the best idea. The stuffing may not cook evenly or thoroughly, and there's a risk of bacteria if it's not cooked to the right temperature. Instead, cook the stuffing separately in a baking dish.
4. Add herbs for extra flavor
Herbs are a great way to add flavor to your stuffing. Add herbs like sage, thyme, rosemary, and parsley to give your stuffing a delicious and aromatic taste.
5. Use chicken or vegetable broth for moisture
Moisture is essential in making stuffing. You can use chicken or vegetable broth to add moisture to your stuffing instead of water. Use enough broth to moisten the bread, but not so much that it becomes soggy.
6. Consider adding nuts or dried fruits
Nuts and dried fruits add a great texture and flavor to stuffing. Consider adding nuts like walnuts, pecans, or almonds, and dried fruits like cranberries, cherries, or apricots.
7. Don't forget the seasoning
Seasoning is key to making tasty stuffing. Add salt and pepper to taste, and consider adding other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
8. Don't overmix the ingredients
Overmixing the ingredients can lead to a dense and heavy stuffing. Mix the ingredients gently just until combined, and avoid compressing the mixture.
9. Use a baking dish or muffin tin for even cooking
Cooking the stuffing in a muffin tin or baking dish ensures even cooking and allows for crispy edges. You can also cover the dish with foil for the first 30 minutes and then remove it for the last 15 minutes for a crispy top.
10. Let the stuffing cool before serving
Letting the stuffing cool for a few minutes before serving allows the flavors to meld together and ensures that it won't be too hot to eat.

Conclusion

Making the perfect apple raisin stuffing takes time and effort, but the end result is worth it. Follow these tips to make a delicious and impressive dish that your guests will love. Remember to use fresh ingredients, let the bread dry out, add herbs for flavor, use broth for moisture, add nuts or dried fruits for texture, and don't overmix the ingredients. Cook the stuffing in a baking dish or muffin tin for even cooking and let it cool before serving. With these tips, you'll be able to make the best apple raisin stuffing recipe.
