Sausage and Mushroom Stuffed Boneless Turkey Breast image

Provided by Anne Burrell

Time 1h50m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Extra-virgin olive oil
2 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
Kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
1 pound shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and julienned
1/2 bunch sage, leaves finely chopped
1 pound bulk Italian sausage, crumbled
1 turkey breast, removed from the bone, about 4 pounds
2 cups bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
2 eggs
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 pounds caul fat
1 1/2 pounds sliced bacon
2 carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 ribs celery, cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 cups chicken stock
1 cup dry white wine
Thyme bundle

Steps:

  • Coat a large saute pan, over medium-high heat, with olive oil, add in half of the diced onion, season with salt, to taste. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and very aromatic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Toss in the mushrooms and sage, season with salt, to taste. Cook until they are soft and wilted, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the sausage and use a large kitchen spoon to chop up the sausage. Cook until the sausage is brown and a little crispy, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the sausage mixture to a large mixing bowl and let cool.
  • While the sausage mixture is cooling, cut the turkey breast into 2 separate halves and remove skin. Butterfly each half to make a wide, flat surface. Cover each half with plastic wrap and with a meat mallet, gently pound each breast half, to flatten.
  • To the mixing bowl with sausage mixture, add the bread crumbs, grated cheese, the eggs and 1/2 a cup of water. Mix together until it becomes a homogeneous mixture. Taste and season with salt if needed.
  • Lay a large piece of caul fat out on a large, flat work surface. Lay about 10 bacon slices in the middle, slightly overlapping. Arrange a turkey breast on top. Lay half the stuffing mix on the turkey and roll it up, creating a neat even log. Wrap 2 pieces of bacon around each end, then fold the bacon that's underneath around the turkey. Wrap the caul fat in an even layer to create a smooth even log. Tie with twine to secure. Repeat with second turkey breast.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Put a large roasting pan on a burner, coat it with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the turkey rolls and brown on all sides. Remove the rolls from the pan and add in the remaining diced onion, carrots, celery. Season with salt, to taste, and cook the veggies until they start to soften, about 7 to 8 minutes. Add 1 cup of chicken stock and 1 cup of white wine to the roasting pan with a thyme bundle. Return the turkey rolls to the pan, cover with foil and roast for 25 minutes, remove the foil and roast for 10 more minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and transfer the turkey to a tray or platter and cover with foil to rest and keep warm.
  • Put the roasting pan over 2 burners to make the gravy. Remove the thyme and skim the fat. Mix the flour with 6 tablespoons chicken stock and slowly whisk it into the roasting pan. Whisk in the remaining chicken stock and bring it the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the mixture has thickened to a gravy consistency. Taste and season with salt, if needed.
  • Remove the string from the roulades and slice into medallions. Arrange the roulades on a serving platter and serve with the gravy.
  • What juicy breasts!

TRADITIONAL SAUSAGE-MUSHROOM TURKEY STUFFING



Traditional Sausage-Mushroom Turkey Stuffing image

My mother-in-law was famous for her wonderful turkey stuffing, which my husband always looked forward to at holiday time. When my in-laws moved to California, he was bemoaning that he wouldn't have that stuffing anymore! I asked my mother-in-law how she made it, but she didn't have it written down, and told me "a handful of this" and a "handful of that". Needless to say, when I attempted to recreate it, it was a disaster. I started building a recipe from scratch, and ended up incorporating mushrooms, which I love. Ultimately, my husband ending up preferring my stuffing! As they say, necessity is the mother of invention!

Categories     Pork

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb bulk pork sausage
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sliced celery
2 cups chopped onions
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 (13 3/4 ounce) can chicken broth (and additional broth, if necessary)
2 lbs loaf firm-textured white bread, cut in 1/2-inch cubes (stale or toasted, do not use fresh)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Pan fry sausage over medium-high heat until crumbled and cooked well. Set aside.
  • In large fry pan, melt butter. Add celery, onion, and mushrooms. Saute until soft. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cook down until about 1/3 of the liquid remains.
  • In large bowl, toss bread cubes with poultry seasoning, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add sausage and drippings to bowl and stir. Add vegetables and broth mixture to bowl and stir. Add egg and mix until fully combined. Mixture should be moist and bind together easily. (If not, add more chicken broth.).
  • Stuff neck and body cavities of turkey, or spoon into a greased 2-quart casserole and cover with foil. Truss turkey and roast as usual or, if baking, add casserole to oven about 30 minutes end of turkey roasting time and let bake for 45 minutes. I have also successfully made stuffing balls with this recipe, rolling the stuffing mixture into balls (I got about 15 of them), placing them on a greased, foil-lined baking sheet and baking in a 350-degree oven for about 25 minutes. They were moist and delicious!

Tips:

  • Thaw Your Turkey Safely: Make sure to thaw your turkey properly in the refrigerator or by using the cold water method. Never thaw your turkey at room temperature.
  • Choose the Right-Size Turkey: To ensure everyone has enough to eat, plan for about 1 pound of turkey per person. You can use a larger or smaller turkey depending on your group size.
  • Prepare Your Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh mushrooms, onions, and herbs.
  • Roast Your Vegetables: Roasting the vegetables in advance will help bring out their natural sweetness and add depth of flavor to the stuffing.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your stuffing liberally. This will help it taste its best.
  • Stuff the Turkey Just Before Cooking: This will help prevent the stuffing from becoming soggy.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure that your turkey is cooked through, use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Let Your Turkey Rest Before Carving: Let your turkey rest for at least 15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:
