Best 6 Spinach Ricotta Rolled Turkey Breasts Recipes

ROLLED TURKEY BREAST WITH HERBS AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• 1. Position the oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
• 2. Pulse the parsley, spinach, 1 stick butter, Parmesan, walnuts, rosemary, thyme, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a food processor until smooth.
• 3. Place the turkey, skin-side down, on a work surface. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper; spread the herb mixture over the turkey. Fold the tenderloin, if intact, into the center, and roll the breast up into an even roll. Tuck in the ends to prevent them from overcooking. Tie the roll with kitchen twine at about 1 1/2-inch intervals.
• 4. Place the roll on a foil-lined baking sheet, brush with the melted butter, and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Roast for 25 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey registers 150 to 160 degrees F, about 55 minutes. Let rest for 25 minutes before slicing.
• 5. Remove the twine and slice the turkey. Arrange on a platter and drizzle with the pan juices. Serve.

SPINACH AND RICOTTA STUFFED TURKEY BREAST WITH GARLIC HERB SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine hot tap water, sugar and kosher salt in a large bowl. Mix well and wait for water to clear and sugar and salt to dissolve. Place turkey breast in the brine and refrigerate 4-6 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Combine shallot, ricotta, Parmesan, spinach, Italian seasoning, salt and black pepper to taste in a small bowl.
• Remove turkey from brine, pat dry and spread out flat.
• Spread stuffing ingredients over the inside of turkey breast to within 1-inch of the edge.
• Starting with the narrow end, roll up and secure with butcher's twine.
• Place turkey breast in a roasting pan. Dot the top with butter and drizzle with olive oil.
• Bake for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until an instant-read thermometer registers at least 160 degrees in the center. Tent and let rest 5-10 minutes. Slice into 1/2-inch slices and serve with sauce.
• Melt butter over medium heat. Add flour, reduce heat to medium-low and cook 2 minutes, whisking constantly.
• Add wine and continue whisking 1 minute.
• Slowly add 2 1/2 cups chicken broth, garlic and herbs. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer 4-5 minutes or until thickened.

BACON WRAPPED TURKEY BREAST STUFFED WITH SPINACH AND FETA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Slice turkey breast down the middle and lay it flat. Sprinkle oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper on the inside of turkey. Arrange spinach leaves in 1 layer on 1 of the pieces of turkey and top with a layer of feta cheese. Repeat layering with spinach and feta cheese. Fold the other turkey breast half over the feta layer so the filling is sealed. Wrap the entire turkey breast with bacon. Place wrapped turkey in a baking dish and season with salt and pepper.
• Cook turkey breast until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Turn on oven's broiler and broil wrapped turkey until bacon is crisp on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Let turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
