Turkey Roulade Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the vegetables have softened.
• Add the sausage and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes, breaking the meat up into smaller pieces. Season with the sage and thyme.
• Add the stuffing mix and chicken stock. Stir until the bread is no longer dry. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• Place the turkey breast on a cutting board, skin-side down. Cover with plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to about ½-inch (1 cm) thick.
• Brush the turkey breast with the Dijon mustard.
• Spread the stuffing mixture over the turkey breast in an even layer, about ¼-inch (6 mm) thick. Transfer any extra stuffing to an oven-safe dish.
• Starting from a short end, roll the turkey into a log with the skin on the outside. Tuck in any loose bits.
• Use kitchen twine to tie the turkey closed crosswise at 1-inch (2-cm) intervals. Tie once lengthwise to seal the ends.
• Transfer the trussed turkey to a wire rack set over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with melted butter and season all sides generously with salt and pepper.
• Bake the turkey roulade for 45-60 minutes, until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (75˚C). Bake the leftover stuffing for 20-30 minutes, until lightly browned on top.
• Let rest for 15 minutes, then remove the twine, slice, and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large skillet coated with cooking spray, saute the apple, mushrooms and onion in oil until tender. Remove from the heat; stir in the spinach, lemon juice, lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt and nutmeg. , Make a lengthwise slit down the center of each tenderloin to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Open tenderloins so they lie flat; cover with plastic wrap. Flatten to 1/4-in. thickness. Remove plastic; sprinkle turkey with pepper and remaining salt. , Spread spinach mixture over tenderloins to within 1 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; tie with kitchen string. Place egg and bread crumbs in separate shallow bowls. Dip roulades in egg, then roll in crumbs. , Place in an 11x7-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, at 375° until a thermometer reads 170°, 40-45 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.

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.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Cook and stir bacon in large skillet until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Discard all but 1 Tbsp. drippings from skillet. Add shallots to reserved drippings; cook 5 min. or until crisp-tender, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Add apricots, raisins and dressing; mix well. Stir in bread crumbs. Cool 10 min.
• Place turkey, smooth side down, between 2 large sheets of plastic wrap; pound to 1/2-inch thickness. (Flattened turkey piece should measure about 12 by 10 inches.) Remove top sheet of plastic wrap.
• Spread spinach onto turkey to within 1/2 inch of all sides; top with cheese. Shape apricot mixture into 10-inch log; place about 2 inches from bottom edge of one long side of turkey. Sprinkle bacon along top edge of fruit log.
• Roll up turkey tightly, starting at bottom edge.
• Tie closed with kitchen string, knotting string about every 2 inches to secure. Brush with butter.
• Place turkey in lightly floured oven roasting bag; tie bag closed. Place in shallow pan. Bake 1-1/4 hours or until done (165°F). Remove from oven. Let stand 10 min. before carefully removing from bag and slicing to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine garlic and oil in custard cup. Cover with foil; bake garlic until very tender, about 25 minutes. Pour oil into small bowl; reserve. Mash garlic; set aside. Increase oven temperature to 400°F.
• Mix breadcrumbs, celery, olives, parsley, lemon peel and rosemary in small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place turkey breast on work surface. Using meat mallet, pound turkey to about *-inch thickness. Spread mashed garlic over turkey, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread breadcrumb mixture over turkey, leaving 1/2-inch border on all sides and pressing to adhere. Starting at 1 long side, roll up tightly, jelly-roll style. Tie roulade in 5 places with string to secure.
• Place doubled 15-inch square of cheesecloth in 13x9x2-inch pan. Pour 1/2 cup broth over cloth. Place roulade on cloth. Drizzle reserved garlic oil over roulade. Wrap tightly with cheesecloth. Roast until cooked through and juices run clear when roulade is pierced in center, basting with 2/3 cup broth every 30 minutes, about 1 hour 15 minutes total.
• Let roulade cool 15 minutes. Remove cheesecloth and string. Cut roulade into 1/2-inch slices; arrange on 6 plates. Add 1 cup broth to baking pan. Bring to simmer, scraping up browned bits. Pour broth over roulade.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium (10-inch) skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and fennel seeds and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the onion is tender. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Off the heat, stir in the chopped sage and the rosemary; set aside to cool.
• Set the turkey breast on a cutting board and open it up, skin side down. If necessary, pound the turkey to an even thickness of about 1 inch. Sprinkle the turkey with 4 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Once the onion mixture has cooled, spread it evenly on the meat. Grate the butter and sprinkle it on top. Arrange the prosciutto on top to totally cover the filling and meat.
• Starting at one long end of the turkey breast, roll the meat up jelly-roll style to make a compact cylindrical roulade, ending with the seam side down. Tie the roulade tightly with kitchen twine at 2 to 2 1/2-inch intervals to ensure that it will roast evenly. Slip the whole sage leaves under the twine down the center of the roulade.
• Place the roulade, seam side down, in a roasting pan and pat the skin dry with paper towels. Brush the skin with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour the wine and 1 cup water into the roasting pan, surrounding the turkey with the liquids without pouring them directly over the roulade. Roast for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature is 150 degrees.
• Remove from the oven, cover the turkey with foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Remove the string, slice the roulade crosswise in 1/2-inch-thick slices, and serve warm with the pan juices.

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.

Steps:

• -=Wild Mushroom Stuffing=-.
• In a small bowl, soak bread cubes in milk.
• In a saute pan, saute bacon over medium-high heat until crisp and all fat is rendered.
• Add onion, celery, and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add mushrooms and continue to cook until mushrooms have released their liquid and are soft, about 4 minutes.
• Deglaze with Marsala and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
• Squeeze excess milk from bread and place bread in a large mixing bowl.
• Add eggs and mix well, breaking up pieces of bread.
• Add mushroom mixture, chopped thyme and oregano, and salt and pepper to taste.
• -=Turkey Roulade=-.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• On a large cutting board, place turkey breast on top of plastic wrap and cut so that it opens up to one large flat piece of even thickness.
• Cover with additional plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of just under 1/2-inch.
• Remove plastic wrap from top of turkey and spread stuffing evenly over middle portion of turkey breast and roll it up, using the plastic wrap to help keep the roll in place.
• On a large piece of parchment paper, lay the slices of bacon down so that they just overlap.
• The resulting "blanket" of bacon should be long enough to cover the entire length of the turkey roulade.
• Lift the turkey roulade onto the bacon slices and carefully remove the plastic wrap.
• Using the parchment as a handle, carefully roll up roulade, "tootsie-roll" fashion. Twist ends tightly.
• Place this roll on top of a large piece of aluminum foil and roll entire roulade, paper and all, with the aluminum foil.
• Crimp ends closed. Bake in a roasting pan with a rack for 1 1/2 hours, or until internal temperature reads 155°F.
• Let roulade rest for 15 minutes, then slice into 1-inch thick slices and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place turkey, skinned side up, on a work surface. Hold a sharp knife parallel to the cutting surface, and starting on the thicker side, cut the turkey almost completely in half without cutting all the way through; open like a book. With a meat mallet or small heavy skillet, pound turkey to a 1/2-inch thickness.
• Spread stuffing on turkey breast, leaving a 1/2-inch border all around. Starting at a long end, roll turkey over stuffing; pat and tuck turkey to form a uniform log.
• Place turkey roulade, seam side down, on a rimmed baking sheet. Lay bacon crosswise over turkey, overlapping slices slightly. Using kitchen shears, trim ends of bacon so slices extend 1/2 inch beyond roulade on each side; tuck ends under. Roast, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part registers 165 degrees, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Let rest 15 minutes; slice and serve, garnished with thyme, if desired.

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.

(Place the leftover stuffing in a buttered gratin dish and bake for the last 45 minutes of roasting alongside the turkey.) Starting at one 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 a thermometer reads 150 degrees 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.

Steps:

• Pour the water into a bowl. Slowly sprinkle the Activa over the water and whisk to combine. The mixture will begin to foam and look like lightly whipped cream. Once all the Activa is dispersed in the water, let the mixture rest for 10 minutes. The foam will subside and the GS is ready to use. Refrigerate until the thighs and bacon are ready to be assembled.
• Remove the skin from the turkey. Cut out the thighbone and remove any obvious pockets of fat and sinew. Starting from the place where the thighbone was, butterfly the thighs. Cut from the center outward on each side, leaving enough meat intact to hold the pieces together. Tenderize the thighs by pressing the Jaccard evenly over the thighs to cut uniform incisions into the muscle fibers. Combine the salt and togarashi in a small bowl, and season both sides of the thighs with the spices. (You may have some left over.)
• Lay the bacon out flat on a cutting board. Use a pastry brush to apply a fine layer of the Activa slurry over both sides of each slice of bacon. Brush the Activa mixture on the turkey thighs, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
• Lay two 3-foot (1-meter) sheets of plastic wrap on the counter. Let the sheets overlap slightly so you have a double-wide sheet of plastic. Begin laying the bacon in the center of the plastic, overlapping the slices by one-third to create what looks like a raft of bacon.
• Arrange the turkey thighs on the edge of the bacon nearest you, one on top of the other and slightly offset so they form a uniform thickness. Use the plastic wrap to help lift the bacon up and around the thighs, like a giant sushi roll. Once the bacon is wrapped around the turkey, use the plastic to pull the bacon tight around the thighs. Pull and roll the plastic around the turkey bacon roll, making a tight roulade. Use another sheet of plastic to roll around the roulade one more time and squeeze it tight. Place the roulade in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or up to 24 hours.
• To cook the roulade, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Remove the plastic wrap, place the roulade on a rack set over a roasting pan, and roast for 1 hour. The bacon should be brown and caramelized. If it's not fully cooked, turn on the broiler to finish cooking the bacon. Remove the roulade from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. Slice and serve.

Steps:

• First, make the stuffing. Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat, then tip in the onions and sizzle for about 8 mins until golden. Add the garlic and cook for 2 mins more, then turn off the heat and leave to cool. Tip the bread and parsley into a food processor with plenty of seasoning and blitz to crumbs. Scrape in all the buttery onions and pulse to make a bright green stuffing - the ingredients will come together to form a paste. Set aside. Will keep covered in the fridge for up to a day.
• Lay the turkey breast out on a board, skin-side down, with the tip of the breast at the top. Butterfly the breast by cutting partway into the thickest side (be careful not to cut all the way through), then opening it out like a book. Cover with a sheet of baking parchment and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently bash it out into a rough rectangle - the meat should be an even thickness of about 2cm. Remove the parchment, season and spread the stuffing over the turkey, leaving a small border around the edges. Starting from one of the short sides, roll the turkey breast into a tight log, then tie with kitchen string at even intervals to hold it all together. Will keep covered in the fridge for up to a day.
• Heat the oven to 210C/190C fan/gas 6½. Put the turkey roulade seam-side down in a shallow roasting tin or on a rack set in the tin, if you have one. Brush with the melted butter and season. Roast for 40 mins until the skin has crisped up, then brush with the maple syrup and roast for 30-40 mins more, basting occasionally with the juices in the tin until the middle of the roulade reaches 70C on a digital thermometer (check after 30 mins, as oven temperatures vary). Leave to rest for at least 10 mins before carving into thick slices. Use the juices to make a gravy in the tin, if you like, and serve alongside.
