Best Turkey Breast Roulade With Green Chiles And Feta Recipes

ROASTED TURKEY ROULADE

Steps:

• Place the dried figs and cranberries in a small saucepan and pour in the Calvados and 1/2 cup water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and celery and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sausage, crumbling it into small bits with a fork, and saute, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes, until cooked and browned. Add the figs and cranberries with the liquid, the chopped rosemary, and pine nuts, and cook for 2 more minutes. Scrape up the brown bits with a wooden spoon.
• Place the stuffing mix in a large bowl. Add the sausage mixture, chicken stock, egg, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and stir well. (The stuffing may be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator overnight.)
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place a baking rack on a sheet pan.
• Lay the butterflied turkey breast skin side down on a cutting board. Sprinkle the meat with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Spread the stuffing in a 1/2-inch-thick layer over the meat, leaving a half-inch border on all sides. Don't mound the stuffing or the turkey will be difficult to roll. (Place the leftover stuffing in a buttered gratin dish and bake for the last 45 minutes of roasting alongside the turkey.) Starting at 1 end, roll the turkey like a jelly roll and tuck in any stuffing that tries to escape on the sides. Tie the roast firmly with kitchen twine every 2 inches to make a compact cylinder.
• Place the stuffed turkey breast seam side down on the rack on the sheet pan. Brush with the melted butter, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and roast for 1 3/4 to 2 hours, until an instant-read thermometer registers 150 degrees F in the center. (I test in a few places.) Cover the turkey with aluminum foil and allow it to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Carve 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve warm with the extra stuffing.

TUSCAN TURKEY ROULADE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place a rack in a large roasting pan.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium (10-inch) saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and fennel seeds and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the onion is tender. Add the garlic and cook for one minute only. Off the heat, add the sage and rosemary and set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, spread the turkey breast out on a cutting board, skin-side down. Sprinkle the meat with 4 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. When the onion mixture is cool, spread it evenly on the meat. Distribute the grated butter on top. Place one layer of prosciutto on top of the butter to cover the meat completely. Starting at the left side of the turkey breast, roll the meat up jelly-roll style to make a compact cylindrical roulade, ending with the seam side down and the skin side up. Tie the roulade with kitchen twine at 1 1/2- to 2-inch intervals as tightly as possible to ensure that it will roast evenly. Slip whole sage leaves underneath each tie of the twine down the center of the roulade.
• Place the turkey roulade, seam side down, on the prepared rack in the roasting pan. Pat the skin dry with paper towels, brush the skin all over with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour the wine and 1 cup of water in the roasting pan (not over the turkey) and roast for between 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 hours, until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature is 150 degrees F. (This depends on how large the turkey breast is.) Remove from the oven, cover with foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Slice in 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve warm with the pan juices.

TURKEY ROULADE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake bread on a baking sheet until dry and edges are golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Place turkey, skinned-side down, on a cutting board. Slice through thickest part of breast, creating a flap. Cover with plastic wrap. With a mallet, pound to an even thickness (about 3/4 inch). Remove plastic, season with salt and pepper, and store in refrigerator up to 1 day.
• Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until foamy. Add onion, celery, garlic, herbs, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Transfer to bowl with bread; add broth, cranberries, and pistachios. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place turkey, skinned-side down, on a work surface. Season with salt and pepper. Spread stuffing over top, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Working from one short side, roll breast up tightly into a log, enclosing stuffing. Turn seam-side down. Drape bacon slices over breast, overlapping slightly to cover completely. With kitchen twine, tie at 4 even intervals; replace any stuffing that falls out.
• Roast until a thermometer inserted in thickest part reads 155 degrees (temperature will continue to rise during resting), about 1 hour, 10 minutes. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
