Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Turkey breast
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 10 Toothpicks or kitchen twine
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lay the turkey breast on a clean surface and use a sharp knife to butterfly it open, making sure not to cut all the way through.
Cover the butterflied turkey with plastic wrap and pound it with a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the pan and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a bowl, combine the cooked spinach, feta cheese, parsley, basil, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Spread the herb and cheese mixture evenly over the turkey breast.
Carefully roll the turkey breast, starting from one end, into a tight log. Secure with toothpicks or tie with kitchen twine.
Heat the remaining olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the turkey roll evenly on all sides until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet around the turkey roll.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the turkey roll from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve slices of the stuffed turkey roll with pan juices drizzled over the top.
