Turkey Roulade with Apple-Cider Gravy image

Provided by Ellie Krieger

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (2 1/2-pound) skinless turkey breast, butterflied
1/2 cup dried cranberries
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1/2 large onion, diced (about 1 1/2 cups), plus 1 cup sliced onion
2 large garlic cloves, minced
5 slices day-old whole-wheat bread, crusts removed, cubed (about 2 1/2 cups)
1/3 cup lightly toasted chopped pecans
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons fresh crumbled sage or 3 teaspoons dried, divided
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup apple cider
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon cold water

Steps:

  • Place the turkey breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound lightly with a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 3/4-inch. Set aside while stuffing is prepared.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place the cranberries in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, cook for 1 minute, then remove from heat, drain and reserve. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook, stirring, until onions are golden but not charred, about 12 to 15 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Add bread, cranberries, pecans, 2 tablespoons fresh or 2 teaspoons dried sage and 1/2 to 3/4-cup chicken stock, depending upon consistency of stuffing; (you want the mixture to be moistened, but not too wet, since the turkey will release moisture when cooked). Cook over low heat for about 2 to 3 minutes, remove from heat.
  • Salt and pepper the inside and outside of the turkey breast. Spread the stuffing on the turkey, leaving about 1 1/2 to 2-inches uncovered on all sides. Roll up and secure tightly with kitchen twine, trying to keep all stuffing intact.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in a large Dutch oven or medium-sized roasting pan until hot. Sear stuffed turkey breast on all sides until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Add sliced onion and 1 1/2 cups chicken stock, cover tightly and roast in the oven until turkey reaches 160 degrees F when an instant-read thermometer is inserted into inner layer of meat, about 60 to 65 minutes. Remove the turkey breast from oven and transfer to a cutting board to rest.
  • Make the gravy: Add apple cider, 1/2 cup chicken stock, vinegar and remaining sage to the onions, chicken stock and juices in the roasting pan, bring to a boil and cook for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by 1/3. Slowly add the cornstarch mixture, stirring constantly, and cook for 3 minutes more. The gravy should not be thick, just slightly thicker than a jus. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Makes 1 1/2 cups gravy.
  • Remove twine from turkey breast and slice into 1 1/2-inch thick pieces. Serve with gravy.

Categories     Dairy     Poultry     turkey     Vegetable     Roast     Christmas     Thanksgiving     Dinner     Cranberry     Apple     Meat     Fall     Winter     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 servings, with leftovers

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 cups diced (1/4 inch) firm white sandwich bread (from 4 slices)
1 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup diced (1/4 inch) celery
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter at room temperature plus 1 tablespoon melted
1/2 lb chicken livers, trimmed
1 large egg
1/4 cup whole milk
1 (4 1/2- to 5-lb) boneless turkey breast half with skin
1/2 cup medium-dry Sherry
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 whole cloves
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
1 1/4 cups apple cider (preferably unfiltered)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Special Equipment
kitchen string; heavy-duty foil; an instant-read thermometer

Steps:

  • Make stuffing:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Toast bread cubes on a baking sheet until dry and just beginning to brown around edges, 12 to 15 minutes
  • Simmer cranberries in water (1/2 cup) in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, uncovered, stirring once or twice, until cranberries are tender and all of water is absorbed, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Cook celery, onion, garlic, 1 teaspoon sage, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Wipe skillet clean.
  • Pat livers dry and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in cleaned skillet over high heat until foam subsides, then sauté livers until edges are browned but livers are still pink inside, about 3 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a cutting board, reserving pan juices, and cool completely, then cut into 1/4-inch dice.
  • Whisk together egg and milk in a large bowl, then stir in toasted bread cubes, cranberries, onion mixture, livers, reserved pan juices, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Let stand at room temperature until bread has absorbed all of liquid and stuffing is completely cool, about 10 minutes.
  • Prepare turkey:
  • Leave oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Arrange turkey, skin side up, on a work surface with narrower, pointed end nearest you. Determine which long side of the breast is thickest, then, starting from that side and holding knife parallel to work surface, cut breast horizontally almost in half, stopping 1 inch from other side. Open breast like a book and put between 2 sheets of plastic wrap.
  • Pound turkey to 1-inch thickness with flat side of a meat pounder or with a rolling pin. Discard top sheet of plastic wrap and pat turkey dry. Arrange with a short side nearest you and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Spread stuffing evenly over turkey, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Fold short end nearest you over stuffing to enclose, gently pressing on stuffing, then roll up breast tightly.
  • Arrange rolled turkey breast seam side down, then tie crosswise at 1-inch intervals with string. Brush turkey with melted butter (1 tablespoon), then sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Roast turkey, seam side down, in a 13- by 9- by 2-inch roasting pan, uncovered, until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
  • Add Sherry, soy sauce, cloves, bay leaf, 1 cup cider, and remaining teaspoon sage to roasting pan. Cover roasting pan with heavy-duty foil and continue roasting until thermometer inserted diagonally 2 inches into center of roulade registers 170°F, 35 to 45 minutes more. Transfer turkey to a cutting board and let stand, loosely covered with foil, 15 minutes before slicing. (Internal temperature will rise to 180°F.)
  • Make sauce while turkey stands:
  • Pour juices from roasting pan through a fine-mesh sieve into a small heavy saucepan. Skim off fat and bring to a boil.
  • Whisk together cornstarch and remaining 1/4 cup cider, then whisk into boiling sauce and boil, whisking, until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Slice turkey and serve with sauce.

TUSCAN TURKEY ROULADE



Tuscan Turkey Roulade image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Good olive oil
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 large)
3/4 teaspoon whole fennel seeds
2 tablespoons minced garlic (6 cloves)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves plus whole sage leaves
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 whole butterflied boneless turkey breast with the skin on (5 to 6 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) cold butter, grated on a box grater like carrots
4 ounces thinly sliced Italian prosciutto
1 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place a rack in a large roasting pan.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium (10-inch) saute pan 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 one minute only. Off the heat, add the sage and rosemary and set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, spread the turkey breast out on a cutting board, skin-side down. Sprinkle the meat with 4 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. When the onion mixture is cool, spread it evenly on the meat. Distribute the grated butter on top. Place one layer of prosciutto on top of the butter to cover the meat completely. Starting at the left side of the turkey breast, roll the meat up jelly-roll style to make a compact cylindrical roulade, ending with the seam side down and the skin side up. Tie the roulade with kitchen twine at 1 1/2- to 2-inch intervals as tightly as possible to ensure that it will roast evenly. Slip whole sage leaves underneath each tie of the twine down the center of the roulade.
  • Place the turkey roulade, seam side down, on the prepared rack in the roasting pan. Pat the skin dry with paper towels, brush the skin all over with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour the wine and 1 cup of water in the roasting pan (not over the turkey) and roast for between 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 hours, until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature is 150 degrees F. (This depends on how large the turkey breast is.) Remove from the oven, cover with foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Slice in 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve warm with the pan juices.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 loaf seeded rye bread, crust removed, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 2 cups packed)
1/2 boneless, skinless turkey breast (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh thyme
1 tablespoon minced fresh sage
2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped dried cranberries
1/4 cup chopped pistachios
8 ounces very thinly sliced bacon

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.

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Turkey: Choose a turkey roulade that is about 3 to 4 pounds in size. This will ensure that it cooks evenly and thoroughly.
  • Preparing the Turkey: Before cooking, make sure to remove any excess fat or skin from the turkey roulade. This will help to reduce the cooking time and prevent the roulade from becoming too greasy.
  • Stuffing the Turkey: Be careful not to overstuff the turkey roulade. Too much stuffing can make the roulade difficult to cook evenly and can also cause the stuffing to become dry.
  • Cooking the Turkey: Cook the turkey roulade according to the recipe instructions. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the roulade and the type of oven used.
  • Making the Cider Sauce: While the turkey is cooking, prepare the cider sauce. This sauce is a delicious and flavorful complement to the turkey roulade.
  • Serving the Turkey: Once the turkey roulade is cooked through, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the juices in the roulade.

Conclusion:

Turkey roulade with cider sauce is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make this dish at home. Just remember to follow the tips above to ensure that your turkey roulade turns out perfectly.
