Spiced Turkey with Swiss Chard image

I love turkey in any way, shape or form. I feel the same about Swiss chard or any leafy greens, so I decided to combine the two in this delicious, healthy meal. To complete the dinner, I make extra spice rub and toss it with oil and new potatoes, then roast them in the oven along with the turkey. -Susan Bickta, Kutztown, Pennsylvania

TURKEY ROULADE WITH SWISS CHARD

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Kosher salt
1/2 cup arborio or other medium-grain rice
2 bunches (about 2 pounds) Swiss chard, stems removed
12 ounces pancetta, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 ounces gruyere cheese, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1/2 cup finely chopped scallions
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground pepper
4 large eggs, beaten
1 skin-on, boneless turkey breast half (3 to 4 pounds)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cups white wine

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rice and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Strain the rice and transfer to a large bowl, then bring a fresh pot of water to a boil. Drop the chard into the boiling water and cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking, then squeeze dry and chop. Mix the chard and pancetta into the rice.
  • Chop the garlic, rosemary, red pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt into a fine paste using a knife or a mini chopper. Add to the chard-rice mixture along with the cheese, scallions, basil, parsley, lemon zest, nutmeg and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Add the eggs and stir to combine.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Remove the skin from the turkey breast in one piece and reserve. Place the meat smooth-side down on a cutting board and butterfly it: Slice down the middle of the breast with a sharp knife, but do not cut all the way through. Open the turkey like a book.
  • Sprinkle the meat with a teaspoon of cold water and cover with plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a mallet, or a rolling pin, pound the meat into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. Season with salt and pepper, then pile the chard stuffing down the center of the rectangle, packing it into a tight log. Fold the meat over the filling, overlapping the sides slightly. Stretch the turkey skin over the roulade to cover the seam and tie the roll at 2-inch intervals with kitchen twine. Fold in the ends and tie the roll lengthwise to seal.
  • Place the meat skin-side up on a rack in a shallow baking dish. Brush with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Pour the wine and 2 cups water into the dish and roast until a thermometer inserted into the roll registers 160 and the skin is golden and crisp, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 15 minutes. Meanwhile, strain the pan juices. Remove the twine and slice the roll into 3/4-inch-thick pieces. Serve with the pan juices.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turkey: For this recipe, a bone-in turkey breast or thigh is best. Bone-in meat tends to be more flavorful and moist than boneless meat.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the turkey, make sure there is enough space around it so that the air can circulate and the turkey can cook evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to ensure that the turkey is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the turkey (without touching the bone) and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the turkey rest: Before carving the turkey, let it rest for 10-15 minutes. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: This spiced turkey is delicious served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or stuffing.

Conclusion:

This spiced turkey with Swiss chard is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The turkey is roasted with a variety of spices, giving it a delicious flavor, while the Swiss chard adds a pop of color and nutrition. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
