Description
This flavorful turkey roulade is stuffed with a savory herb mixture, then rolled and baked to perfection. It’s a great alternative to traditional roasted turkey and makes for an impressive dish.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds turkey breast, boneless and skinless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or gluten-free breadcrumbs)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lay the turkey breast flat on a cutting board. If needed, butterfly the breast to create an even, flat piece of meat.
- In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Add the chopped spinach to the pan and cook for an additional 2 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a bowl, combine the spinach mixture, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken broth and mix well to form the stuffing.
- Spread the stuffing evenly over the turkey breast. Carefully roll the turkey up, securing the ends with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
- Place the turkey roulade seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with melted butter and, if desired, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over the top.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let the roulade rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- You can prepare the stuffing ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version.
- Optional Dijon mustard adds a tangy flavor and helps with browning.
- Letting the roulade rest before slicing helps retain juices.
