Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds turkey breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon fresh sage
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 roll kitchen twine
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
Place the turkey breast on a cutting board and carefully butterfly it to create an even thickness for stuffing.
In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, sage, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper.
Spread the herb and garlic mixture evenly over the butterflied turkey breast.
Roll the turkey breast tightly from one end to the other, forming a log shape.
Secure the rolled turkey evenly with kitchen twine at 1-2 inch intervals to maintain its shape while cooking.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the turkey roll and sear on all sides until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.
Carefully pour chicken broth into the skillet around the turkey roll.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for about 45 to 50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius).
Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let the turkey rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Remove the kitchen twine, slice the turkey roll into medallions, and serve warm with pan juices drizzled on top.
