Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 loaf seeded rye bread, crust removed, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 2 cups packed)
1/2 boneless, skinless turkey breast (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped dried cranberries
1/4 cup chopped pistachios
8 ounces very thinly sliced bacon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake bread on a baking sheet until dry and edges are golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Place turkey, skinned-side down, on a cutting board. Slice through thickest part of breast, creating a flap. Cover with plastic wrap. With a mallet, pound to an even thickness (about 3/4 inch). Remove plastic, season with salt and pepper, and store in refrigerator up to 1 day.
  • Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until foamy. Add onion, celery, garlic, herbs, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Transfer to bowl with bread; add broth, cranberries, and pistachios. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place turkey, skinned-side down, on a work surface. Season with salt and pepper. Spread stuffing over top, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Working from one short side, roll breast up tightly into a log, enclosing stuffing. Turn seam-side down. Drape bacon slices over breast, overlapping slightly to cover completely. With kitchen twine, tie at 4 even intervals; replace any stuffing that falls out.
  • Roast until a thermometer inserted in thickest part reads 155 degrees (temperature will continue to rise during resting), about 1 hour, 10 minutes. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

ROASTED TURKEY ROULADE



Roasted Turkey Roulade image

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h15m

Yield 6 to 7 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3/4 cup large-diced dried figs, stems removed
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup Calvados or brandy
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups diced onions (2 onions)
1 cup (1/2-inch-diced) celery (3 stalks)
3/4 pound pork sausage, casings removed (sweet and hot mixed)
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
3 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix (recommended: Pepperidge Farm)
1 1/2 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 extra-large egg, beaten
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 whole (2 halves) turkey breast, boned and butterflied (5 pounds)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Place the dried figs and cranberries in a small saucepan and pour in the Calvados and 1/2 cup water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and celery and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sausage, crumbling it into small bits with a fork, and saute, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes, until cooked and browned. Add the figs and cranberries with the liquid, the chopped rosemary, and pine nuts, and cook for 2 more minutes. Scrape up the brown bits with a wooden spoon.
  • Place the stuffing mix in a large bowl. Add the sausage mixture, chicken stock, egg, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and stir well. (The stuffing may be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator overnight.)
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place a baking rack on a sheet pan.
  • Lay the butterflied turkey breast skin side down on a cutting board. Sprinkle the meat with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Spread the stuffing in a 1/2-inch-thick layer over the meat, leaving a half-inch border on all sides. Don't mound the stuffing or the turkey will be difficult to roll. (Place the leftover stuffing in a buttered gratin dish and bake for the last 45 minutes of roasting alongside the turkey.) Starting at 1 end, roll the turkey like a jelly roll and tuck in any stuffing that tries to escape on the sides. Tie the roast firmly with kitchen twine every 2 inches to make a compact cylinder.
  • Place the stuffed turkey breast seam side down on the rack on the sheet pan. Brush with the melted butter, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and roast for 1 3/4 to 2 hours, until an instant-read thermometer registers 150 degrees F in the center. (I test in a few places.) Cover the turkey with aluminum foil and allow it to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Carve 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve warm with the extra stuffing.

TURKEY-BREAST ROULADE & BRAISED LEGS



Turkey-Breast Roulade & Braised Legs image

This time-saving turkey recipe saves room in the oven for sides. First you pound the breast, then roll it with stuffing and roast it while the legs braise alongside it-like magic, both are done in just an hour. The white meat stays moist, and you get stuffing in each bite. And because onion serves as a roasting rack for the breast while the dark meat cooks partly submerged in broth, the pan juices make for an extra-flavorful gravy. No need to strain it-spend that time raising a toast instead.

Provided by Greg Lofts

Categories     Turkey Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield Serves to 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 boneless, skin-on turkey-breast half (about 3 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 cups unbaked Cranberry-and-Sage Stuffing
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, divided
1 large onion, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
2 whole turkey legs (about 4 1/2 pounds total)
4 thyme sprigs
1 quart warm Easy Turkey Stock, divided, plus more as needed
3 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Pears, grapes, and sage and thyme sprigs, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Place turkey breast, skin-side down, on a cutting board. Slice through the thickest part horizontally, creating a flap, and open it like a book. Cover with plastic wrap. With a mallet, pound to an even thickness (about 3/4 inch). Remove plastic and season with salt and pepper. Spread stuffing evenly over top, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Working from the short side without skin, roll the breast up tightly into a log, enclosing stuffing. Turn seam-side down and pull the skin down to envelop roulade as much as possible. Tie with kitchen twine at 2-inch intervals to secure. Rub 2 tablespoons butter over skin; season with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange onion rounds in a single layer on one side of a roasting pan. Place roulade, skin-side up, atop onions. Rub 1 tablespoon butter over each leg, season, and place on other side of pan. Scatter thyme over turkey and pour 1 cup stock into pan.
  • Roast turkey (adding more stock to pan if bottom becomes dry, 1/2 cup at a time) until a thermometer inserted in center of roulade registers 160°F, about 1 hour. Transfer roulade and legs to a carving board, loosely covering with foil to keep warm; remove and discard onion.
  • Place pan on stove top over medium-high heat; add 2 1/2 cups stock. Bring to a boil, scraping any browned bits from bottom of pan. In a small bowl, whisk together flour and remaining 1/2 cup stock, then gradually whisk into pan. Continue boiling until thickened slightly, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Add more lemon juice, if desired, 1 teaspoon at a time, and season to taste. Remove twine from roulade and slice into rounds. Arrange on a platter with legs and garnishes and serve with gravy.

TURKEY ROULADE



Turkey Roulade image

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter, softened
2 stalks celery, diced
1 small head fennel, diced
1 medium onion, diced
8 ounces sweet pork sausage
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Brandy, for deglazing
2 1/2 cups seasoned dry stuffing mix
1 cup low-sodium chicken stock
1 large egg
1 boneless skin-on whole turkey breast (approximately 5 pounds), butterflied and flattened
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken stock
1/2 cup brandy
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the roulade: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Position a rack in a roasting pan.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the celery, fennel and onions and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sausage and cook until browned through, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley and rosemary and cook for about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Deglaze the skillet with a splash of brandy, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom.
  • Combine the sausage/veggie mix, stuffing mix, chicken stock and egg in a large bowl and stir together. Lay the turkey breast flat and season with salt and pepper. Spread the stuffing mixture in an even layer, then tightly roll the turkey breast. Tie the roll with kitchen twine--approximately 4 to 6 ties evenly spaced
  • Rub the remaining 4 tablespoons softened butter all over the surface, sprinkle with salt and pepper and put on the rack in the roasting pan. Roast for 30 minutes, then decrease the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and continue roasting until the skin is golden brown and crispy and a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the roulade reaches 155 degrees F, another 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove to a cutting board, cover with foil and let rest while you make the gravy.
  • For the gravy: Set the roasting pan over a burner over medium heat. Whisk the flour into the drippings to form a paste and cook, stirring constantly, until the roux is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock, turn off the heat and add the brandy to the pan. Turn the heat back on and cook, whisking constantly, until the gravy thickens, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Slice and serve with the gravy!

BASIC BRAISED TURKEY



Basic Braised Turkey image

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
One whole turkey, cut up, or 4 turkey thighs (or 2 drumsticks and 2 thighs) and 1 boneless breast (2 halves)
1/2 pound bacon or pancetta, diced (optional)
2 large onions, diced
1 pound shiitake or other mushrooms, sliced
2 pounds carrots, peeled and diced
1 bunch celery, diced
A few branches sage, thyme or rosemary
3 cups turkey stock or water, or more
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Put the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the turkey and brown the leg (and, if you're using them, wing) portions on the skin side well, 10 minutes or more; turn and cook for another 2 minutes on the skinless side. Remove to a plate and brown the breasts in the same skillet, again mostly on the skin side; remove and keep them separate.
  • Heat the oven to 300, and cook the bacon or pancetta (if using) in the remaining fat in the skillet until nearly crisp; remove with a slotted spoon. Cook the onions, mushrooms, carrots, celery and herbs, in batches if necessary, until beginning to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer with the bacon or pancetta to a large roasting pan, then nestle the dark meat in there, leaving room for the breasts. Add stock or water to come about one-third to halfway up the sides of the thighs.
  • Roast uncovered for about 90 minutes, checking occasionally to make sure liquid levels remain sufficiently high and stirring vegetables if they threaten to brown too much. When thigh meat is tender, place the breasts in the pan, and cook until tender, 30 to 45 minutes more, or until done. (They should register 155 on an instant-read thermometer.)
  • Slice breast and thigh meat and serve on a platter with the vegetables garnished, if you like, with parsley.

Categories     Bon Appétit     turkey     Thanksgiving     Fall     Braise     Garlic     Orange     Rosemary     White Wine     Chile Pepper

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons Diamond Crystal or 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 teaspoon. Morton kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoon light brown sugar
4 turkey legs (thigh and drumstick; about 6 1/2 pounds total), patted dry
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 heads of garlic, halved crosswise
1 small orange, halved
2 sprigs rosemary

1 cup dry white wine
4 cups Thanksgiving Stock or water
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces

Steps:

  • Place salt and brown sugar in a small bowl and work together with your fingers to incorporate. Place turkey legs on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle dry brine all over both sides of legs. Chill, uncovered, at least 12 hours and up to 2 days.
  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Rinse turkey legs and pat dry. Sprinkle on all sides with flour. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook 2 turkey legs, skin side down, until skin is browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer legs to a large roasting pan. Repeat with remaining 2 Tbsp. oil and 2 turkey legs.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add garlic and orange, cut side down, and rosemary and chile to skillet and cook, undisturbed, until garlic is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Add wine, scraping to release any browned bits stuck to the bottom of pan. Cook until wine is almost completely evaporated, about 2 minutes. Scrape into roasting pan with turkey legs. Pour in stock and cover tightly with 2 layers of foil.
  • Transfer pan to oven and braise turkey until leg joints wiggle freely and meat is fork-tender, 2 1/2-3 hours.
  • Place turkey legs, skin side up, on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Transfer garlic, orange, rosemary, and chile to a platter. Start with 2 cups braising liquid to make sauce. If you have more than that, set roasting pan over medium-high heat and bring liquid to a boil. Cook until reduced to 2 cups. Reduce heat so liquid is simmering and whisk in butter a piece at a time, incorporating each piece completely before adding more.
  • Heat broiler. Broil turkey legs until skin is browned and crisp, about 2 minutes. Transfer to platter and serve with pan sauce poured over or alongside.
  • Do Ahead
  • Turkey legs can be braised 3 days ahead. Let cool in braising liquid; cover and chill. Reheat, covered, until heated through before broiling.

TURKEY BREAST ROULADE WITH APPLE AND RAISIN STUFFING



Turkey Breast Roulade with Apple and Raisin Stuffing image

A boneless turkey breast is rolled around stuffing with apple and raisins.

Provided by CupcakeSparkles11

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Turkey     Breasts

Time 2h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ cups water
¼ cup butter
⅓ cup raisins
1 (6 ounce) package low sodium stuffing mix (such as Stove Top® Lower Sodium Chicken Flavor)
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
1 apple - peeled, cored, and chopped
1 (6 pound) whole bone-in turkey breast with skin
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning

Steps:

  • Place the water, butter, and raisins into a saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, stir in the stuffing mix, cover, and let stand until the stuffing mixture absorbs the liquid, about 5 minutes. Stir 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning and the apple lightly into the stuffing. Allow the stuffing mixture to cool.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a rack into a roasting pan.
  • Carefully remove the turkey breast skin in one piece without tearing the skin, and set aside. Bone the turkey breast (see notes) keeping the meat in one piece but removing the strip of cartilage and gristle between the two breast halves, if necessary. Pull the two tenderloin sections outward from the main part of the breast, keeping them attached, to expand the boneless piece of turkey into a roughly square-shaped piece of meat. Sprinkle the inside of the breast with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning.
  • Spread the stuffing mixture all over the inside of the breast meat piece, and firmly roll the stuffed breast into a compact roll. Spread the reserved turkey skin out, and place the stuffed roll in the middle of the skin. Pull and roll the skin over the stuffed meat, and tie the stuffed roll together with cooking twine. Place the roll onto the roasting rack with the seam side down.
  • Roast the stuffed breast in the preheated oven until the skin is golden brown, the meat is no longer pink inside, and the temperature of the roll, measured at the thickest part, reads 170 degrees F (75 degrees C), 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Allow the roast to stand covered with a tent of aluminum foil for at least 10 minutes before removing the twine for slicing.

Tips:

  • Prep the turkey breast: Carefully remove the skin from the turkey breast and butterfly it open. Make sure to keep the skin intact, as it will be used to wrap the roulade.
  • Season the turkey: Generously season the turkey breast with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs. You can also add a layer of stuffing or vegetables to the center of the roulade before rolling it up.
  • Roll and tie the roulade: Starting from one of the long sides, roll the turkey breast up tightly. Use kitchen twine to tie the roulade at regular intervals to keep it from unrolling.
  • Brown the roulade: In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, brown the roulade on all sides until golden brown. This will help to seal in the juices and add flavor.
  • Braise the turkey legs: In a separate pot or Dutch oven, brown the turkey legs over medium-high heat. Add some chopped vegetables, herbs, and broth to the pot, then bring to a simmer. Cover and braise the turkey legs for 1-2 hours, or until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender.
  • Assemble the dish: Once the turkey roulade and legs are cooked, assemble the dish. Place the roulade in the center of a serving platter, and surround it with the braised turkey legs. Drizzle the pan juices over the turkey and garnish with fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

This recipe for turkey breast roulade and braised legs is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion.
