Stuffed Turkey Breast

Ingredients

Chicken fillet - 3 lbs
Salt - to taste
Ground Black Pepper - to taste
Pork Mince - 17.6 oz

Herbes de Provence - 1 teaspoon
Olive Oil - 3 tablespoons
Chopped Sage Leaves - 2 tablespoons
Garlic - 3 cloves
Lemon - 1 piece
Butter - 3.5 oz

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Lay the turkey breast on a work surface, skin side down. If necessary, make cuts so that when pounding, the fillet becomes an even thickness. Pound the fillet to a thickness of approximately 1.5–2 cm. Season the meat with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Season the pork mince with herbes de Provence, paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread it over the surface of the fillet, leaving 1 cm free on each edge.

Step 3

Roll the turkey fillet into a tight log and tie it with kitchen twine. Place the log in a dish lined with plastic wrap, season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the garlic into the olive oil, add the chopped thyme, and rub this mixture over the log. Cover the log with thinly sliced lemon. Wrap everything in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 392°F. Remove the fillet and take off the plastic wrap and lemon. Line a baking dish with foil and place the log in it. Drizzle the log with melted butter. Place it in the oven and bake for 1.5–2 hours, periodically turning the dish in the oven to ensure even cooking. Increase the oven temperature to maximum and cook the turkey until done, until the skin turns a nice brown color (another 15–20 minutes).
