Turkey Breast With Stuffing Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, cumin, coriander and thyme. Blend well. Sprinkle and rub this mixture inside and outside the breast.
• Place breast skin side up in a roasting pan. Put onions on each side, and garlic cloves and bay leaf beneath the breast. Brush outside of breast with vegetable oil.
• Put breast in oven, and roast 15 minutes. Cover loosely with foil, add chicken broth and bake 15 minutes, basting a few times.
• Reduce heat to 425 degrees and remove foil. Continue roasting 15 minutes, basting a few times.
• Remove turkey breast from pan, and pour fat from the pan. Return breast skin side up, and add the broth around it. Continue roasting 10 minutes, basting twice.
• Remove from oven, cover with foil and let stand in a warm place 10 minutes before carving. Serve with dressing and pan gravy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a bowl, combine the sausage, prosciutto, chestnuts, olives and sage. Season with salt and pepper. Heat a small skillet and add a teaspoon of the stuffing. Saute until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Taste for seasoning and adjust seasoning in the stuffing mix, if necessary.
• Place the turkey breast on the cutting board with skin side down. Flatten with your hands, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil to moisten. Spread stuffing on top and roll the turkey around the stuffing. Wrap kitchen twine around breast and tie tightly.
• Place turkey in a roasting pan, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until internal temperature of the turkey breast is 165 degrees F, about 1 hour or 12 to 15 minutes per pound.
• Let rest 10 minutes, then snip off kitchen twine. Slice the turkey and arrange decoratively on serving platter. Pour pan juices over the slices and serve.
• Special equipment: kitchen twine .

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425ºF.
• Prepare stuffing as directed on package; mound in center of 13x9-inch pan sprayed with cooking spray.
• Place turkey, breast side up, on top of stuffing, covering stuffing completely. Brush turkey with oil.
• Bake 30 min. Reduce oven temperature to 325ºF. Bake turkey an additional 45 min. to 1 hour or until turkey is done (165ºF). Let stand 10 min. before carving. Meanwhile, heat gravy in small saucepan; stir in sour cream.
• Serve turkey and stuffing topped with gravy.

Steps:

• Bone the turkey breast: Pull off the skin in one piece, using your fingers to separate the skin from the meat. Turn the breast on one side and use the tip of a sharp knife to carve off the breast in one piece, following the curve of the rib cage. Repeat on the other side. Reserve whole breasts and skin. Alternatively, ask the butcher to do the boning for you.
• Place breastbone and any scraps in a deep pot and cover with cold water. Add about 1 teaspoon salt, bring to a simmer and simmer gently, uncovered, until stock is reduced and flavorful, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Skim occasionally; do not boil. Let stock cool slightly, then strain, discard bones and reserve.
• Assemble and cook the roast: Heat oven to 325 degrees and place rack in lower third of oven. Cut a piece of cheesecloth long enough to leave about 8 inches of overhang at each end of the roasting pan; you will twist and tie these together to secure the roast.
• Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a saucepan or microwave. Dip cheesecloth in butter, shake off excess and lay out in roasting pan. Spread out the turkey skin, outer side down, on the cloth.
• Season turkey breasts with salt and pepper and paint with melted butter. Place one breast, cut side up, in the center of the cloth. Spoon 1/3 to 1/2 of the stuffing over the meat in a neat layer. (Set aside remaining stuffing in a casserole to bake separately.)
• Top stuffing with the second breast, cut side down, arranging it so that the thick end of the top breast drapes over the tapered end of the bottom one. (This will give the roast an even shape.)
• Lift one end of the skin up and over the roast. Repeat on the other side, so that the skin completely covers the roast. Repeat with the cheesecloth so the sides of the roast are covered.
• Bring up both ends of the cheesecloth so that they meet on top. Twist tightly and tie them together to secure. Turn roast over so that the ends of the cheesecloth are tucked underneath the roast. Slip a rack under the roast to lift it away from the bottom of the pan. Paint again with melted butter and strew onion and carrot around the roast.
• Bake until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 155 degrees, about 2 hours depending on size. Baste every 20 to 30 minutes, first using melted butter, then the fat that collects in the pan.
• After 1 hour of cooking, cover stuffing in casserole with foil and place in the oven with the turkey. Uncover after 30 minutes and cook until heated through and crusty on top.
• When done, the roast will be compact and burnished brown. Remove to a platter and let rest, uncovered, 20 minutes. Cut the cheesecloth along one edge of the roast, then carefully peel it off. Gently lift roast and pull the cheesecloth away from the underside. Cover lightly with foil and return to turned-off oven to keep warm. Stuffing can also remain, covered, in turned-off oven.
• Make the gravy: Heat 3 cups reserved turkey stock. Pour 1/4 cup of the fat from the roasting pan into a large saucepan. (Reserve roasting pan with vegetables separately.) Heat over low heat until bubbling; add flour and cook, whisking, until lightly browned. Turn off heat, let cool 2 minutes, then gradually whisk in 2 cups hot stock. Pour off and discard any additional fat in roasting pan and place on top of the stove over low heat. Pour in wine, vermouth or more stock and cook, scraping up browned bits from the bottom of the pan, for 5 minutes. Pour contents of roasting pan into the gravy in the saucepan and stir together. Simmer until thickened and heated through. Add remaining stock as needed until gravy has the consistency you like. Taste for seasoning; strain.
• To carve the roast, cut it into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Serve with additional stuffing and hot gravy.

Steps:

• Combine broth, barley, onion, cranberries, almonds, sage, and garlic pepper in slow cooker.
• Brown the half turkey breast and add to cooker.
• Cook on low 3-4 hours or until temperature reaches 170°F.
• Place turkey breast on a cutting board, cover with foil, and let stand 10-15 minutes before carving.
• Stir parsley into the stuffing and serve with turkey.

Steps:

• Place turkey in a 5- or 6-qt. slow cooker. Whisk 1/4 cup gravy, condensed soup and seasonings. Cover and refrigerate remaining gravy. Stir apple, celery, onion and, if desired, mushrooms into gravy mixture. Stir in stuffing cubes; spoon over turkey. Cook, covered, on low until a thermometer reads 170° and meat is tender, 3-4 hours., Remove turkey from slow cooker; tent with foil. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Warm remaining gravy. Serve with turkey and stuffing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, combine the stuffing crumbs, sage, celery and chicken broth, and then set aside. Place the celery soup and the chicken soup into two separate bowls and add 1/2 of a soup can of water to each. Stir these well and set aside.
• Sprinkle 1/3 of the stuffing crumb mixture into the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Then layer with 1/2 of the shredded turkey meat and pour the celery soup mixture over this. Sprinkle another 1/3 of the crumb mixture over this, followed by the remaining turkey. Pour the chicken soup mixture over this and top off with the remaining stuffing mixture. Drizzle the melted butter over all and press the entire mixture down into the dish until firmly packed.
• Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 20 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Set oven to 350 degrees F.
• Prepare and butter a casserole dish just large enough to hold the breast.
• Crumble the sausage slightly,and brown in a skillet over medium heat with onion; drain any fat then place in a bowl.
• Combine the pork sausage with next 8 ingredients, then season with salt and pepper to taste; mix well to combine.
• Gently loosen the skin from turkey in the neck area to make a large "pocket" to stuff.
• Stuff in as much stuffing as you can with sausage mixture thensecure with toothpicks.
• Place the remaining sausage (if any) into a small baking dish, and during the last 30 minutes of the turkey breast baking time, bake the remaining stuffing for about 20-25 minutes, or until heated through.
• To cook the turkey breast: place the breast skin-side up on a rack in roasting pan.
• Brush with melted butter, and season with salt and pepper.
• Bake for about 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until a thermometer reaches 170 degrees F (I like to remove a little sooner as the temperature will rise after removing from the oven).
• Let stand for 15-20 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Combine stuffing mixes, onions and water in slow cooker sprayed with cooking spray; top with turkey, skin side up.
• Mix remaining ingredients; pour over turkey. Cover with lid.
• Cook on LOW 4 to 4-1/2 hours (or on HIGH 2 to 2-1/2 hours) or until turkey is done (165ºF).

Steps:

• First prepare the stuffing. Heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan, then soften the onion without colouring for 10 mins. Tip into a bowl. Add the pancetta or bacon to the pan, fry for 5 mins until golden, then add the pine nuts, garlic, sage and lemon zest. Fry for 1 min more until fragrant and the pine nuts are starting to brown. Stir in the chopped parsley. Tip into the bowl with the onions, then bind with the crumbs, egg and seasoning.
• Butter and season a sheet of turkey foil or use 2 sheets of foil crimped together to make a sheet about 50 x 60cm. Lay five long pieces of string over the foil like rungs of a ladder, ready to tie the breast together. Arrange the pancetta or bacon in a lattice over the middle of the foil, on top of the string.
• Open out the butterflied breast, skin-side down, and slash each side several times. Cover with cling film and bash with a rolling pin until the meat is about 5cm thick all over. Trim the sides so that you have a roughly rectangular shape (but be careful not to cut the skin). Lift onto the pancetta, then fill any gaps with the trimmings. Season, then press the stuffing along the middle of the joint. Pull up the sides at one end, tucking in the short end, then tie the string tightly so that the stuffing is encased. Repeat with all the strings. Wrap up tightly in the foil, then turn the roll over so that the pancetta is on the top. Can be left in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Sit the joint in a roasting tin and roast for 40 mins per kg or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out very hot and the juices run clear. Unwrap for the last 10 mins of cooking.
• Lift the joint onto a board and leave to rest, covered, for at least 10 mins. For the gravy, heat the tin on the hob, then splash in the wine and any juices. Reduce by half, then add the stock and repeat. Pour in the cream and bubble to a slightly reduced sauce. Season to taste, then stir in the parsley.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, stir together the stuffing ingredients.
• If your butcher wouldn't butterfly the turkey breast, cut it lengthwise down the center, almost in half; don't cut completely through it. Lay it out flat between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using the smooth side of a meat mallet or a heavy pan, lightly flatten the turkey, being careful not to tear the meat.
• Spoon the stuffing down the middle of the turkey. Roll the turkey around the stuffing. Tie at 2-inch intervals with kitchen twine.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• In a Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Brown the turkey for 2 minutes on each side. Pour 2 cups broth over the turkey.
• Bake, covered, for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the turkey is no longer pink and the internal temperature reaches 170°F. Transfer the turkey to a carving board, leaving the liquid in the Dutch oven. Let the turkey rest while you make the gravy.
• Bring the broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Meanwhile, put the flour in a small bowl. Pour in the water, whisking to dissolve. Whisk into the boiling broth. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the gravy is thick and bubbly, whisking frequently. Remove from the heat.
• Slice the turkey into 6 pieces. Serve with the gravy.
• Cook's Tip on Mesh
• Kitchen twine is a great way to secure roasts and help them keep their shape while cooking. Butchers use a similar product that is stringlike and stretchy, and with a bit of maneuvering, can easily cover a roast. Many butchers will sell-or perhaps even give-you a small amount of mesh to use at home. For large quantities, check restaurant supply or specialty stores.
