Rolled Stuffed Turkey Breast
I have cooked a turkey every which way you can think of except maybe deep-fried. I hear that is delicious. This Rolled Stuffed Turkey Breast is fantastic! Babysitting a big bird by having to baste it all day doesn’t seem like much fun, never mind fighting with it to get it rinsed, dried and stuffed and into the pan.
I’ve been making a turkey roll for a long time now. Often I will still do a big bird but when you have a small crowd or you want to serve something else besides turkey or you just don’t want to be a slave to the kitchen all day, try a stuffed turkey breast.
EASY CHRISTMAS
I have done this so many times on Christmas Day also where I wanted to be hanging out with Amber and playing games and watching movies. I come down to the kitchen at 4:00 and can have the dinner put together by 5:15 while sipping on a glass of wine. Super easy and you have a great turkey meal without all the fuss.
For the stuffing, I usually don’t stress about it either. We almost always have craisins hanging around or cranberries at that time of year in the freezer. I grab a nut of some sort from the pantry, usually from a Christmas basket or gift, and whip the stuffing together.
Try any combination you like. I hope you try this one. Sorry I did overcook my roll slightly, keep yours to 160-165F, and then tent for 10 min. It will be perfect.
