Stuffed Turkey Breast
 
Be the first to rate this recipe
 

SERVES 4 – 6

1  12-lb. turkey breast, skin-on
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2–3 cups prepared Bread Stuffing
2 tbsp. canola oil
4 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted

1. Place the whole, turkey breast skin side down between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Pound breast to a 1⁄2" thickness. Discard plastic wrap. Season breast all over with salt and pepper to taste. Arrange breast so that long sides are parallel to you.

2. Mound stuffing along center of breast, from short end to short end. Fold one long end of the breast over stuffing; roll forward to make a tight cylinder; tuck in ends. Tie breast with kitchen twine at 1" intervals to secure.

3. Heat oven to 375°. Heat oil in a 12" ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Brown turkey on all sides, about 12 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven; cook, basting with butter, until an instant-read thermometer reads 155°, about 45 minutes. Transfer turkey to a cutting board, tent with foil, and let rest for 20 minutes. Remove twine; slice.

Stuffed Turkey Breast
"parallel to you"? perhaps suspended vertically?
"registers 155" with the thermometer in the
stuffing or the meat?

Member muglich's Review:  
Stuffed Turkey Breast
if you read the actual recipe in the magazine it
says: place the whole, skin-on breast of a 12-lb
turkey (have a butcher remove it beforehand) skin
side down between.... this should clarify your
question. it was obviously just poorly worded
here.

Size

do you really mean a 12 pound turkey
breast?  that bird would have had to weigh
something like 30 pounds before breast was
removed.

 did you really mean the
breast of a 12 pound
turkey?

 

12 pounds of turkey
breast would serve at least 12 people and more
likely closer to 24.
