Apple And Pancetta Turkey Roulade Recipes

TURKEY-PANCETTA ROULADE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot, garlic and fennel seeds and cook until the shallot is slightly soft, 2 minutes. Stir in the rosemary, thyme, red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook 1 more minute. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
• Lay the turkey, skin-side down, on a cutting board. Cover with a sheet of plastic wrap and pound lightly with a meat mallet until it's about 8 by 12 inches and 1/4 inch thick. Remove the plastic wrap and season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
• Cut four 12-inch pieces of kitchen twine. Spread the garlic mixture evenly over the turkey. Arrange the pancetta on top in an even layer, then sprinkle with the parsley. Starting from a long side, roll up the breast and tie gently with the twine. Brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Put the stuffed turkey breast on a rack in a roasting pan and pour 1 cup water into the pan. Roast until the skin is golden, about 40 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F and roast until the skin is crisp and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey registers 155 degrees F to 160 degrees F, about 10 more minutes.
• Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and let rest at least 30 minutes before slicing. (If making ahead, let cool completely, then wrap in plastic wrap, unsliced, and refrigerate up to 2 days.) Make the sandwiches: Drizzle the cut sides of the rolls with olive oil. Sandwich the provolone and turkey in the rolls and drizzle the meat with any pan drippings.
• Stand the corn upright in a large bowl when slicing off the kernels so they don't scatter all over the counter.

TURKEY BREAST ROULADE WITH APPLE AND RAISIN STUFFING

Steps:

• Place the water, butter, and raisins into a saucepan; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, stir in the stuffing mix, cover, and let stand until the stuffing mixture absorbs the liquid, about 5 minutes. Stir 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning and the apple lightly into the stuffing. Allow the stuffing mixture to cool.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a rack into a roasting pan.
• Carefully remove the turkey breast skin in one piece without tearing the skin, and set aside. Bone the turkey breast (see notes) keeping the meat in one piece but removing the strip of cartilage and gristle between the two breast halves, if necessary. Pull the two tenderloin sections outward from the main part of the breast, keeping them attached, to expand the boneless piece of turkey into a roughly square-shaped piece of meat. Sprinkle the inside of the breast with salt, pepper, and 1 tablespoon of poultry seasoning.
• Spread the stuffing mixture all over the inside of the breast meat piece, and firmly roll the stuffed breast into a compact roll. Spread the reserved turkey skin out, and place the stuffed roll in the middle of the skin. Pull and roll the skin over the stuffed meat, and tie the stuffed roll together with cooking twine. Place the roll onto the roasting rack with the seam side down.
• Roast the stuffed breast in the preheated oven until the skin is golden brown, the meat is no longer pink inside, and the temperature of the roll, measured at the thickest part, reads 170 degrees F (75 degrees C), 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Allow the roast to stand covered with a tent of aluminum foil for at least 10 minutes before removing the twine for slicing.

TURKEY ROULADE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake bread on a baking sheet until dry and edges are golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Place turkey, skinned-side down, on a cutting board. Slice through thickest part of breast, creating a flap. Cover with plastic wrap. With a mallet, pound to an even thickness (about 3/4 inch). Remove plastic, season with salt and pepper, and store in refrigerator up to 1 day.
• Heat butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until foamy. Add onion, celery, garlic, herbs, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook until onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Transfer to bowl with bread; add broth, cranberries, and pistachios. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Place turkey, skinned-side down, on a work surface. Season with salt and pepper. Spread stuffing over top, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Working from one short side, roll breast up tightly into a log, enclosing stuffing. Turn seam-side down. Drape bacon slices over breast, overlapping slightly to cover completely. With kitchen twine, tie at 4 even intervals; replace any stuffing that falls out.
• Roast until a thermometer inserted in thickest part reads 155 degrees (temperature will continue to rise during resting), about 1 hour, 10 minutes. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

TURKEY BREAST ROULADE WITH GARLIC AND ROSEMARY

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium (10-inch) skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and fennel seeds and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the onion is tender. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Off the heat, stir in the chopped sage and the rosemary; set aside to cool.
• Set the turkey breast on a cutting board and open it up, skin side down. If necessary, pound the turkey to an even thickness of about 1 inch. Sprinkle the turkey with 4 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Once the onion mixture has cooled, spread it evenly on the meat. Grate the butter and sprinkle it on top. Arrange the prosciutto on top to totally cover the filling and meat.
• Starting at one long end of the turkey breast, roll the meat up jelly-roll style to make a compact cylindrical roulade, ending with the seam side down. Tie the roulade tightly with kitchen twine at 2 to 2 1/2-inch intervals to ensure that it will roast evenly. Slip the whole sage leaves under the twine down the center of the roulade.
• Place the roulade, seam side down, in a roasting pan and pat the skin dry with paper towels. Brush the skin with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour the wine and 1 cup water into the roasting pan, surrounding the turkey with the liquids without pouring them directly over the roulade. Roast for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature is 150 degrees.
• Remove from the oven, cover the turkey with foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Remove the string, slice the roulade crosswise in 1/2-inch-thick slices, and serve warm with the pan juices.

TURKEY ROULADE WITH APPLE CIDER GRAVY

Steps:

• Place turkey between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until about 3/4 inch thick. Set aside.
• Toast pecans in a small dry skillet on medium/high heat for 3 minutes, or until fragrant. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375.
• Place cranberries in a small saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, cook for 1 minute, and remove from heat and drain.
• Put 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy skillet and cook until golden. Add garlic and cook another 2-3 minutes. Add bread, cranberries, pecans, 2 tablespoons fresh or 2 teaspoons of dried sage, and 1/2-3/4 cups of broth. (You want the mixture to be moistened but not too wet, since the turkey will release moisture when cooked.). Cook over low heat for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
• Sprinkle salt and pepper over both sides of the turkey breast. Spread stuffing over one side of the turkey, leaving 1-2 inches along the outside with out stuffing. Roll up and secure with kitchen twine. Try to keep the stuffing inside (This part is a little messy, but makes the turkey pretty if it's kept together!).
• Heat remaining oil in the heavy skillet over medium heat. Sear stuffed breast until lightly browned, 3-4 minutes per side. Put in a roasting pan, sprinkle with sliced onion and 1 1/2 cup chicken broth, and roast in the onion, covered, about one hour or more. Remove to cutting board and let rest in an aluminum foil tent while making the gravy.
• Add cider, 1/2 cup chicken broth, vinegar and remaining sage to the raosting pan, bring to a boil, and cook. stirring occasionally, until liquid is reduced by 1/3. Slowly add cornstarch mixture. Stirring constantly, cooking for 3 minutes. Should be a little thicker than a jus. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove cooking twine from turkey, cut into slices. Serve with gravy on the side.
• Note: I usually double the stuffing recipe to have some on the side. I have eaten this with and without the gravy. Looks complicated but quite simple and really good. I go by the servings on the recipe -- my family usually eats more than 1 serving. Times are estimates.

Spread stuffing over, leaving 1-inch plain border. Sprinkle with additional mushroom-soaking liquid if dry. Starting at 1 long side, roll up turkey jelly-roll style. Secure with metal turkey-lacing pins. Tie roll crosswise with kitchen string every 1 1/2 to 2 inches to hold shape. Tie roll once lengthwise to secure ends. Remove metal pins. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
• Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large ovenproof skillet or heavy roasting pan over medium-high heat. Brown turkey roll on all sides, turning often, about 12 minutes. Pour 1/3 cup broth over. Brush with 1 teaspoon butter. Cover skillet with foil. Roast turkey 30 minutes, basting 2 more times with 1/3 cup broth and brushing with 1 teaspoon butter. Remove foil. Roast until turkey is brown and thermometer inserted into center registers 170°F, basting with broth and brushing with more butter occasionally, about 15 minutes longer.
