TURKEY BREAST ROULADE WITH GARLIC AND ROSEMARY



Turkey Breast Roulade With Garlic and Rosemary image

Ina Garten has been known as the Barefoot Contessa since she opened a gourmet store by that name in East Hampton, N.Y., in 1985. She shared this recipe from her book "Modern Comfort Food" with The Times for Thanksgiving in 2020, when many cooks were looking for alternatives to whole turkey. If you don't like fennel seeds, leave them out: Garlic, sage and rosemary give this roast the flavors of Italian porchetta, and it will still be fragrant, juicy and delicious without them.

Time 3h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons good-quality olive oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
3/4 teaspoon whole fennel seeds
6 garlic cloves, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves, plus 4 whole sage leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary leaves
1 whole butterflied boneless, skin-on turkey breast (about 4 to 5 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
1 cup dry white wine, such as Chablis

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium (10-inch) skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and fennel seeds and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the onion is tender. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Off the heat, stir in the chopped sage and the rosemary; set aside to cool.
  • Set the turkey breast on a cutting board and open it up, skin side down. If necessary, pound the turkey to an even thickness of about 1 inch. Sprinkle the turkey with 4 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Once the onion mixture has cooled, spread it evenly on the meat. Grate the butter and sprinkle it on top. Arrange the prosciutto on top to totally cover the filling and meat.
  • Starting at one long end of the turkey breast, roll the meat up jelly-roll style to make a compact cylindrical roulade, ending with the seam side down. Tie the roulade tightly with kitchen twine at 2 to 2 1/2-inch intervals to ensure that it will roast evenly. Slip the whole sage leaves under the twine down the center of the roulade.
  • Place the roulade, seam side down, in a roasting pan and pat the skin dry with paper towels. Brush the skin with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour the wine and 1 cup water into the roasting pan, surrounding the turkey with the liquids without pouring them directly over the roulade. Roast for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature is 150 degrees.
  • Remove from the oven, cover the turkey with foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Remove the string, slice the roulade crosswise in 1/2-inch-thick slices, and serve warm with the pan juices.

ROSEMARY TURKEY BREAST



Rosemary Turkey Breast image

I season turkey with a blend of rosemary, garlic and paprika. Because I rub half of the mixture directly on the meat under the skin, I can remove the skin before serving and not lose any of the flavor. The result is an entree that's lower in fat, yet delicious-the perfect centerpiece for holiday meals. -Dorothy Pritchett, Wills Point, Texas

BRINED TURKEY BREAST WITH PEACH ROSEMARY GLAZE



Brined Turkey Breast With Peach Rosemary Glaze image

This makes such delicious and moist turkey! I have changed the glaze before using dark cherries and cranberries instead of the peaches and that is scrumptious as well. I had to roast it longer to get to 165 degrees, about 40 minutes more, so you may want to plan on extra time. Prep time does not include brining time. This is from Sunny Anderson of Food Network.

Tips:

  • Brine the turkey breast: This will help to keep it moist and flavorful. You can make a simple brine by dissolving 1/2 cup of salt in 1 gallon of water. Add the turkey breast to the brine and let it sit for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
  • Use a flavorful dry rub: A dry rub will help to add flavor to the turkey breast. You can use a store-bought rub, or make your own by combining spices such as rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Roast the turkey breast at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin. Roast the turkey breast at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the turkey breast rest before carving: This will help to keep the juices in the meat. Let the turkey breast rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

Conclusion:

Rosemary turkey breast is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. By following these tips, you can ensure that your turkey breast is moist, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.
