Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 boneless, skin-on turkey breast, 4 pounds
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
4 teaspoons lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
3/4 pound sweet Italian sausage meat
6 tablespoons apricot jam, divided, plus more for serving
1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place turkey skin-side up on a work surface. Using the palms of your hands and keeping skin intact, flatten turkey to an even thickness. Gently slide your fingers under skin to loosen it, creating a pocket.
  • In a small bowl, combine parsley, sage, and zest, and season with salt and pepper. Transfer half the mixture to a separate bowl and add sausage, 4 tablespoons jam, and breadcrumbs. Stir to combine. Spread sausage mixture under skin.
  • Flip turkey over and coat with remaining herb mixture. Fold short sides of breast into middle, flip, and place on a roasting rack set in a roasting pan lined with foil. Rub skin with oil and season with salt and pepper. Cover with foil and roast 1 hour and 30 minutes. Uncover, brush skin with remaining 2 tablespoons jam, and cook until skin is brown and an instant-read thermometer reads 165 degrees, 15 to 20 minutes more. Re-cover with foil if skin begins to get too dark. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with additional jam.
