Thanksgiving Turkey Roulade Recipes

THANKSGIVING TURKEY BREAST ROULADE WITH STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Place a baking rack on a sheet pan or into a roasting pan.
• Pound out turkey: Lay the butterflied turkey breast between two large pieces of plastic wrap on clean work surface. Use a mallet (or rolling pin) to slightly pound turkey breast to an even ¾'' thickness. Remove plastic wrap and discard.
• Add stuffing: Sprinkle turkey with salt and pepper. Spread the stuffing mixture, in a ½'' thick layer, evenly over the turkey leaving a ¾-1'' border on all sides. Be careful not to overstuff the turkey or you will have a difficult time rolling it up. Transfer any remaining stuffing to a buttered baking dish and follow baking instructions below, adding it to the oven alongside of the turkey in the last hour of cooking.
• Roll the turkey: Starting at the shortest end of the turkey breast, skin removed side down, roll the turkey up and over the stuffing, jelly-roll style. Use your fingers to tuck in any stuffing that escapes on the sides as you roll. Firmly tie up the turkey roulade with kitchen twine every 2'' to form a compact cylinder.
• Season the roulade: Brush turkey with butter and season generously with salt and pepper.
• Brown the roulade: Heat oil in a large skillet, Dutch oven, or roasting pan (something large enough to hold the roulade) over medium high heat. Once hot, add turkey seam side down to pan. Sear roulade on all sides until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes total. Check the side you are searing every minute, depending on how hot your pan is. You want to brown it on all sides, not burn it.
• Roast: Transfer the turkey roulade, seam side down, to the rack insert. **Keep the pan you seared the turkey in, you will use the brown bits stuck to the bottom to make your gravy**. Roast for about 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes, until a thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees (be sure to test internal temperature in a few places. My turkey roulade took 1 hour, 25 minutes to reach 160 degrees F).
• Rest: Remove the turkey from the oven and tent with aluminum foil. Allow the turkey to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before carving into ½- ¾'' thick slices.
• While Turkey is roasting, prepare the gravy: Make a sachet by laying a large piece of cheese cloth on a clean work surface. Place all sachet ingredients in the middle of the cloth, bring up the sides and tie the top with kitchen twine to form a small bag. (See picture included in blog above). Add chicken stock and sachet to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Cook until stock is reduced to 2 cups, about 25-30 minutes. Set aside.
• Place the pan you seared your turkey in over medium heat, add wine and vinegar. Cook until reduced by ½, scraping up brown bits left in the pan.
• Add the reduced stock and bring to a simmer. In a small mixing bowl combine potato starch with 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons of water to form a slurry. Whisk slurry mixture into stock. Continue simmering the gravy, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes, or until mixture has thickened to desired consistency. Season generously with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Turn heat down to low and stir in heavy cream. Keep gravy covered, over low heat and stir occasionally until ready to use.
• When ready to serve, remove the gravy from the heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Serve Roulade with gravy and extra stuffing on the side if using.

TURKEY ROULADE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the vegetables have softened.
• Add the sausage and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes, breaking the meat up into smaller pieces. Season with the sage and thyme.
• Add the stuffing mix and chicken stock. Stir until the bread is no longer dry. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• Place the turkey breast on a cutting board, skin-side down. Cover with plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to about ½-inch (1 cm) thick.
• Brush the turkey breast with the Dijon mustard.
• Spread the stuffing mixture over the turkey breast in an even layer, about ¼-inch (6 mm) thick. Transfer any extra stuffing to an oven-safe dish.
• Starting from a short end, roll the turkey into a log with the skin on the outside. Tuck in any loose bits.
• Use kitchen twine to tie the turkey closed crosswise at 1-inch (2-cm) intervals. Tie once lengthwise to seal the ends.
• Transfer the trussed turkey to a wire rack set over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with melted butter and season all sides generously with salt and pepper.
• Bake the turkey roulade for 45-60 minutes, until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (75˚C). Bake the leftover stuffing for 20-30 minutes, until lightly browned on top.
• Let rest for 15 minutes, then remove the twine, slice, and serve.
• Enjoy!

TUSCAN TURKEY ROULADE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place a rack in a large roasting pan.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium (10-inch) saute pan 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 one minute only. Off the heat, add the sage and rosemary and set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, spread the turkey breast out on a cutting board, skin-side down. Sprinkle the meat with 4 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. When the onion mixture is cool, spread it evenly on the meat. Distribute the grated butter on top. Place one layer of prosciutto on top of the butter to cover the meat completely. Starting at the left side of the turkey breast, roll the meat up jelly-roll style to make a compact cylindrical roulade, ending with the seam side down and the skin side up. Tie the roulade with kitchen twine at 1 1/2- to 2-inch intervals as tightly as possible to ensure that it will roast evenly. Slip whole sage leaves underneath each tie of the twine down the center of the roulade.
• Place the turkey roulade, seam side down, on the prepared rack in the roasting pan. Pat the skin dry with paper towels, brush the skin all over with 2 tablespoons olive oil, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour the wine and 1 cup of water in the roasting pan (not over the turkey) and roast for between 1 1/2 and 1 3/4 hours, until the skin is golden brown and the internal temperature is 150 degrees F. (This depends on how large the turkey breast is.) Remove from the oven, cover with foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Slice in 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve warm with the pan juices.

SLOW ROASTED TURKEY ROULADE

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients in a small food processor and process until you have a paste. Transfer this herb paste into a small bowl and cover and set aside until needed.
• Prepare the Turkey Roulade following the detailed guide here.
• When the turkey breast has been butterflied and shallow cuts have been made and the skin prepped, rub all of the spice paste over the turkey breast as shown in pictures in the post.
• Roll up the turkey breast (as noted in the guide), and wrap it with the turkey skin.
• Using twine, secure the turkey roulade and wrap it with plastic wrap. Place the turkey roulade in the fridge overnight, up to 1 day. (You can keep it at room temperature for up to 1 - 2 hours and then roast it, but storing it overnight in the fridge is better to secure the shape of the roulade).
• Remove the turkey roulade from the fridge at least 1 - 2 hours before roasting.
• Preheat your oven to 450°F at least 20 minutes before roasting.
• Line a quarter sheet pan (or any baking dish with raised edges), with parchment paper.
• Remove the turkey roulade from the plastic wrap and pat dry with paper towels until there's no moisture on the surface. Place it on the parchment paper lined baking tray.
• Brush the surface of the turkey roulade with oil and sprinkle the surface with kosher salt and black pepper (black pepper is optional).
• Place the baking tray (with the roulade) in the oven at 450°F, for about 10-15 minutes, until the surface turns golden brown.
• Reduce the temperature to 275°F and cook for a further 20-30 minutes. If you have a meat thermometer, insert this into the turkey roulade and cook until it registers 162°F (residual heat will cook it further to 165°F).
• Baste the turkey roulade with pan drippings half way through the cooking process.
• Remove the turkey roulade from the oven and let it rest.
• OPTIONAL - if you'd like the turkey roulade to caramelize further, turn the broiler setting in your oven on to high. Broil the turkey roulade for a couple of minutes on each side, until you get the desired caramelization. Always keep an eye on the turkey roulade when it's under the broiler.
• Allow the turkey to rest for 15 - 20 minutes (in the pan drippings) before serving. Carefully remove the pan drippings and set aside for the turkey gravy. OR you can pour the pan dripping over the sliced turkey roulade as well.
• After the turkey roulade has been allowed to rest, slice it into ½ inch thick slices. Arrange the slices on a serving tray garnished with extra herbs and serve with the gravy and other Thanksgiving side dishes.
• Measure how much pan drippings you get from the turkey roulade in a measuring cup.
• Add enough turkey stock/broth (or chicken stock/broth), to make 2 cups of liquid.
• Place the butter in a pot and let it melt over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the flour and whisk until there are no lumps in the flour. Keep stirring this roux until the color changes to brown, and it smells quite nutty.
• Whisk in the stock and pan drippings and black pepper, and whisk until there are no flour lumps. Bring the gravy to a boil and then lower the heat. Cook until you have a gravy with a desired consistency. If the gravy becomes too thick, you can add more stock to thin it out. Taste the gravy and season with extra salt if needed.
• Pour the gravy into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap - make sure the plastic wrap is touching the surface to prevent any gravy skin from forming on top.

ROASTED TURKEY ROULADE

Steps:

• Place the dried figs and cranberries in a small saucepan and pour in the Calvados and 1/2 cup water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then lower the heat and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and celery and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the sausage, crumbling it into small bits with a fork, and saute, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes, until cooked and browned. Add the figs and cranberries with the liquid, the chopped rosemary, and pine nuts, and cook for 2 more minutes. Scrape up the brown bits with a wooden spoon.
• Place the stuffing mix in a large bowl. Add the sausage mixture, chicken stock, egg, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and stir well. (The stuffing may be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator overnight.)
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place a baking rack on a sheet pan.
• Lay the butterflied turkey breast skin side down on a cutting board. Sprinkle the meat with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Spread the stuffing in a 1/2-inch-thick layer over the meat, leaving a half-inch border on all sides. Don't mound the stuffing or the turkey will be difficult to roll. (Place the leftover stuffing in a buttered gratin dish and bake for the last 45 minutes of roasting alongside the turkey.) Starting at 1 end, roll the turkey like a jelly roll and tuck in any stuffing that tries to escape on the sides. Tie the roast firmly with kitchen twine every 2 inches to make a compact cylinder.
• Place the stuffed turkey breast seam side down on the rack on the sheet pan. Brush with the melted butter, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper, and roast for 1 3/4 to 2 hours, until an instant-read thermometer registers 150 degrees F in the center. (I test in a few places.) Cover the turkey with aluminum foil and allow it to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Carve 1/2-inch-thick slices and serve warm with the extra stuffing.
