Spinach And Herb Stuffed Turkey Breast Recipes

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.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. 2. Prepare stuffing: In 12-inch nonstick skillet, in oil, cook onion and celery on medium 10 to 12 minutes or until vegetables are lightly browned and tender, stirring occasionally. Remove skillet from heat; stir in dried spinach, thyme, sage, 3/4 cup chicken broth, salt, and black pepper. Place bread cubes in large bowl; add spinach mixture and toss to mix well. 3. Pat turkey breast dry with paper towels. With fingertips, gently separate skin from meat on breast, being careful not to break skin. Spread stuffing mixture on meat under skin. Place turkey, skin side up, on rack in small roasting pan (13" by 9"). Cover turkey with loose tent of foil. 4. Roast turkey 1 hour and 45 minutes. Remove foil and roast 30 to 40 minutes longer. Start checking for doneness during last 30 minutes of cooking. Turkey breast is done when temperature on meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of breast (not touching bone) reaches 165 degrees F and juices run clear when thickest part of breast is pierced with tip of knife. (Internal temperature will rise 5 degrees F upon standing.) 5. Transfer turkey to warm platter. Let stand 15 minutes to set juices for easier carving. 6. Meanwhile, prepare gravy: Remove rack from roasting pan. Pour drippings through sieve into 1-cup liquid measuring cup or small bowl. Let drippings stand 1 minute to allow fat to separate from meat juices. Skim and discard fat. Place roasting pan on medium-high and cook 1 to 2 minutes to brown bits on bottom of pan, stirring. Carefully add wine and cook 1 minute. Stir cornstarch into remaining 1 1/2 cups broth and add with meat juices to roasting pan. Heat to boiling; boil 1 to 2 minutes or until gravy thickens, stirring to loosen brown bits from bottom of pan. Pour gravy (or strain, if you like) into gravy boat; serve with sliced turkey. Makes about 2 cups gravy.
