Turkey Breast With Cranberry Sage Stuffing Food

STUFFED TURKEY BREAST WITH CRANBERRY STUFFING

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.

TURKEY BREAST WITH CRANBERRY SAGE STUFFING

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the stuffing ingredients.
• If your butcher wouldn't butterfly the turkey breast, cut it lengthwise down the center, almost in half; don't cut completely through it. Lay it out flat between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using the smooth side of a meat mallet or a heavy pan, lightly flatten the turkey, being careful not to tear the meat.
• Spoon the stuffing down the middle of the turkey. Roll the turkey around the stuffing. Tie at 2-inch intervals with kitchen twine.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In a Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Brown the turkey for 2 minutes on each side. Pour 2 cups broth over the turkey.
• Bake, covered, for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the turkey is no longer pink and the internal temperature reaches 170°F. Transfer the turkey to a carving board, leaving the liquid in the Dutch oven. Let the turkey rest while you make the gravy.
• Bring the broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Meanwhile, put the flour in a small bowl. Pour in the water, whisking to dissolve. Whisk into the boiling broth. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the gravy is thick and bubbly, whisking frequently. Remove from the heat.
• Slice the turkey into 6 pieces. Serve with the gravy.
• Cook's Tip on Mesh
• Kitchen twine is a great way to secure roasts and help them keep their shape while cooking. Butchers use a similar product that is stringlike and stretchy, and with a bit of maneuvering, can easily cover a roast. Many butchers will sell-or perhaps even give-you a small amount of mesh to use at home. For large quantities, check restaurant supply or specialty stores.
