    Main-Turkey: Cranberry Stuffed Turkey Breasts

    Source of Recipe

    Esther Nelson

    List of Ingredients

    1 (12 ounce) package herb-seasoned bread stuffing mix
    2 skinless boneless turkey breasts
    1 cup chopped pecans
    2 (8 ounce) packages dried, sweetened cranberries
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    6 lettuce leaves
    1/2 cup pecan halves 

    Recipe

    1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare stuffing mix according to package directions. Set aside to cool.

    2 With a sharp knife, butterfly breasts open to lay flat. Place each breast between two sheets of waxed paper, and flatten with a mallet. Spread the prepared stuffing to within 1/4 inch of the edge of each breast. Sprinkle each one with chopped pecans and dried cranberries, reserving some of the cranberries for garnish. Roll up tightly in a jellyroll style, starting with the long end. Tuck in ends, and tie in sections with string, about 4 sections around the middle and one running the length of the roll to secure the ends.

    3 Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully brown rolls on all sides.

    4 Place skillet in oven, uncovered. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature is at 170 degrees F (78 degrees C) when taken with a meat thermometer. Do not let these get overly dry.

    5 Allow rolls to set for 15 minutes before removing string, and slicing into 1/2 to 3/4 inch circles. Leave one roll whole, and slice the other for presentation. Stuffing will be spiraled into meat. Present on your prettiest platter on a bed of curly lettuce, and garnish by sprinkling with the remaining 1/2 cup pecan halves and the reserved dried cranberries.Makes 10 servings
