Prosciutto Wrapped Stuffed Turkey Breast
Description
This recipe begins by butterflying a turkey breast to create an even, thin layer. It's seasoned with kosher salt and pepper, then spread with a stuffing composed of chopped parsley, rosemary, thyme, sage, dried cranberries, seasoned bread crumbs, minced garlic, and olive oil, which adds moisture and binds the filling. The breast is rolled tightly like a roulade, then covered completely with thin prosciutto slices to add saltiness and a slightly crispy finish when roasted.
The rolled turkey is roasted at 400°F until cooked through, ensuring a juicy center and a browned exterior with the prosciutto wrapping holding the stuffing inside. The herbs provide fresh and earthy flavors while the cranberries introduce a mild sweetness, creating a balanced profile. Resting the roast before slicing allows juices to redistribute for tender slices.
This dish suits holiday meals or special occasions where a visually impressive and flavorful turkey centerpiece is desired. The combination of herbs and prosciutto gives the turkey an elegant touch beyond plain roasting.
Ingredients
- 3 pound turkey breast
- salt kosher salt
- black pepper kosher salt
- ¾ cup fresh herbs like parsley, rosemary, thyme and sage, chopped
- ⅓ cup dried cranberries chopped
- ¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 8 prosciutto thin slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Using a sharp knife, butterfly the turkey breast. Slice into the thickest portion of the breast. Cut along the length of the breast, but not all the way through. Unfold so the turkey opens like a book. Place between two pieces of plastic wrap and use a meat tenderizer to pound out into an even layer. Season the turkey all over with kosher salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, stir together the herbs, cranberries, bread crumbs and garlic. Add the olive oil and stir until the mixture is moistened.
- Spread the mixture all over the turkey breast, leaving a 1 inch border around the edges. Starting with the long side, tightly roll up the turkey breast. Place it on a baking sheet or in a baking dish.
- Take the slices of prosciutto and place them on top, folding the edges underneath the stuffed turkey breast. Cover the turkey all over.
- Roast the turkey for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving.
- Serve with mashed potatoes and gravy!
