Rolled Turkey Breast with Bacon, Mushrooms & Apples
Ingredients
- 2 turkey breasts open and ready to fill
- 300 g bacon finely chopped
- 2 green apples finely chopped
- 150 g shiitake mushrooms finely chopped (see notes below for using other types of mushrooms)
- 4 sage leaves finely chopped
- 80 g cranberries
- 1 red onion finely chopped
- 2 tbsp grated rusk or breadcrumbs
- 50 ml chicken broth
- 2 tbsp finely chopped parsley
- salt
- pepper
- olive oil
Instructions
- Place a pan over medium heat and let it warm up. Once heated, heat some olive oil then add the onion, bacon, mushrooms and apples, and sauté for 4 minutes.
- As soon as they turn golden and the liquid begins to reduce, add the cranberries, sage, parsley, and chicken broth, stir with a wooden spoon, and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the rusk to draw out the liquid, stir, and remove from the heat.
- Place the turkey breasts on the kitchen counter, season them with salt and pepper, distribute the filling on their surface, then carefully roll them up.
- Tie the breasts with string, oil them with a brush, transfer them to an oven tray, and bake in a preheated oven at 200°C/392 °F (fan) for 20 minutes and then at 160°C/320 °F (fan) for 15-20 minutes.
- Once ready, serve the turkey breasts with potatoes, green beans or roasted vegetables.
Notes
1. Shitake mushrooms have less liquid than other types of mushrooms and are a great choice for this recipe. If you use other mushrooms, you must remove the extra liquid, because we want the stuffing to come out like a solid paste.
2. The turkey must reach a temperature of 155°C/ 310°F in order to be ready.
