TURKEY BREAST ROULADE WITH GARLIC AND ROSEMARY
Ina Garten has been known as the Barefoot Contessa since she opened a gourmet store by that name in East Hampton, N.Y., in 1985. She shared this recipe from her book "Modern Comfort Food" with The Times for Thanksgiving in 2020, when many cooks were looking for alternatives to whole turkey. If you don't like fennel seeds, leave them out: Garlic, sage and rosemary give this roast the flavors of Italian porchetta, and it will still be fragrant, juicy and delicious without them.

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 water, butter, and raisins into a saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, stir in the stuffing mix, cover, and let stand until the stuffing mixture absorbs the liquid, about 5 minutes. Stir 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning and the apple lightly into the stuffing. Allow the stuffing mixture to cool.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a rack into a roasting pan.
- Carefully remove the turkey breast skin in one piece without tearing the skin, and set aside. Bone the turkey breast (see notes) keeping the meat in one piece but removing the strip of cartilage and gristle between the two breast halves, if necessary. Pull the two tenderloin sections outward from the main part of the breast, keeping them attached, to expand the boneless piece of turkey into a roughly square-shaped piece of meat. Sprinkle the inside of the breast with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning.
- Spread the stuffing mixture all over the inside of the breast meat piece, and firmly roll the stuffed breast into a compact roll. Spread the reserved turkey skin out, and place the stuffed roll in the middle of the skin. Pull and roll the skin over the stuffed meat, and tie the stuffed roll together with cooking twine. Place the roll onto the roasting rack with the seam side down.
- Roast the stuffed breast in the preheated oven until the skin is golden brown, the meat is no longer pink inside, and the temperature of the roll, measured at the thickest part, reads 170 degrees F (75 degrees C), 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Allow the roast to stand covered with a tent of aluminum foil for at least 10 minutes before removing the twine for slicing.

Steps:
- Bring 1 cup water and dried mushrooms to boil in heavy small saucepan. Remove from heat. Let stand until soft, about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving soaking liquid. Chop mushrooms.
- Sauté pancetta in heavy large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer pancetta to paper towel to drain. Add 2 tablespoons oil to drippings in skillet.

- Cover opened turkey breast with waxed paper. Using rolling pin, pound to 1/2-inch-thick rectangle (about 14x10 inches). Remove waxed paper. Sprinkle turkey with salt and pepper. Spread stuffing over, leaving 1-inch plain border. Sprinkle with additional mushroom-soaking liquid if dry. Starting at 1 long side, roll up turkey jelly-roll style. Secure with metal turkey-lacing pins. Tie roll crosswise with kitchen string every 1 1/2 to 2 inches to hold shape. Tie roll once lengthwise to secure ends. Remove metal pins. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet or heavy roasting pan over medium-high heat. Brown turkey roll on all sides, turning often, about 12 minutes. Pour 1/3 cup broth over. Brush with 1 teaspoon butter. Cover skillet with foil.

- Remove strings from turkey. Cut roast crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve with gravy.
Tips:
- Choose the right turkey breast: Look for a boneless, skinless turkey breast that is about 2-3 pounds in size.
- Butterfly the turkey breast: This will help the roulade to cook evenly. To butterfly the turkey breast, place it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut it horizontally, starting from the center and working your way to the edge. Do not cut all the way through the turkey breast; leave about 1 inch of meat intact at the opposite end.
- Pound the turkey breast: This will help to tenderize the meat. Place the butterflied turkey breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound it until it is about 1/2-inch thick.
- Season the turkey breast: Sprinkle the turkey breast with your favorite seasonings. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme.
- Add the filling: Spread your favorite filling over the turkey breast. Some popular options include spinach and cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and pesto, or roasted vegetables.
- Roll up the turkey breast: Starting from the long edge, roll up the turkey breast tightly. Use kitchen twine to tie the roulade at 1-inch intervals.
- Cook the turkey breast: Place the turkey breast roulade in a roasting pan and cook it in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the turkey breast rest: Before slicing, let the turkey breast rest for 10-15 minutes. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Turkey breast roulade is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for any occasion. With its moist, tender meat and flavorful filling, it is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook turkey breast, give this recipe a try!
