Turkey Roulade

Simple yet decadent, roasted turkey roulade with savory sausage and cranberry stuffing is a delicious alternative to a whole turkey if you are planning a small holiday dinner, Enjoy!
Course: Entrée
Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients

  • 1/2 c. dried cranberries
  • 4 T. butter
  • 1 c. diced yellow onion
  • 1 c. diced celery
  • 1 c. diced mushrooms
  • 1 lb. Jimmy Dean sausage
  • 1 1/2 T. chopped fresh sage
  • 1 T. chopped fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 (10 oz.) box plain stuffing mix
  • 3/4 c. chicken stock
  • 3 lb. turkey breast skin on, deboned and butterflied
  • 2 T. Dijon mustard
  • 1 T. melted butter for brushing
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil; set aside.
  • Place cranberries in a small bowl. Cover with boiling water to plump and rehydrate; set aside.
  • Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions, celery, and mushrooms. Cook stirring occasionally until the veggies have softened.
  • Add sausage to the skillet. Cook until browned about 8-10 minutes breaking up the meat into smaller pieces. Drain the cranberries and add them to the skillet. Season with sage and thyme.
  • Add the stuffing mix and chicken stock. Stir until the bread is no longer dry. Remove from the heat; set aside to cool.
  • To butterfly the turkey breast: Place the turkey breast on a cutting board, skin side down. Cover with plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to about 1/2 -inch thick. (Mine ended up to be about 10 x 14-inches)
  • Brush the turkey breast with Dijon mustard.
  • Spread the stuffing mixture over the turkey breast in an even layer about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer left-over stuffing into an oven-safe dish.
  • Starting from the 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 intervals.
  • Transfer the trussed turkey to the prepared baking sheet. Brush with melted butter and generously season with salt and pepper on all sides.
  • Bake the turkey roulade for 45-60 minutes until the internal temperature reaches165 degrees. Bake the leftover stuffing for 20-30 minutes until lightly browned on top.
  • Remove the turkey roulade from the oven loosely cover with aluminum foil and let rest 15 minutes. Remove twine, slice, and serve.

Notes

Cook’s Note: There is enough stuffing to fill 2 turkey breasts and then some.
