For the turkey:

  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Butcher’s twine for tying

For the stuffing:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs or cubed day-old bread
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth

  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp dried sage

  • Optional: 1/4 cup dried cranberries or chopped nuts for festive flair

🍽️ Instructions

1. Prepare the Stuffing

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Sauté onion, garlic, and celery until softened (about 5 minutes).
  • Stir in breadcrumbs, herbs, salt, and pepper.
  • Add broth gradually until stuffing is moist but not soggy.
  • Remove from heat and let cool.

2. Butterfly the Turkey Breast

  • Lay the turkey breast flat on a cutting board.
  • Slice horizontally (without cutting all the way through) to butterfly.
  • Open like a book, cover with plastic wrap, and pound to even thickness (about ½ inch).

3. Fill and Roll

  • Spread stuffing evenly over the turkey breast, leaving a ½-inch border.
  • Roll tightly from one end like a jelly roll.
  • Tie with butcher’s twine every 2 inches to secure.

4. Season and Sear

  • Rub the rolled turkey with olive oil or butter.
  • Season all over with salt and pepper.
  • Optional: Sear in a hot pan for 2–3 minutes per side for extra color.

5. Roast

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Place turkey roll seam-side down in a baking dish or roasting pan.
  • Roast for 50–60 minutes, or until internal temp reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Let rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing.

👩‍🍳 Tips & Variations

  • Use spinach, cheese, or mushrooms in the stuffing for variety.
  • Substitute turkey with chicken breast for smaller portions.
  • Brush with a maple glaze or mustard rub for added flavor.
  • Make ahead: prep and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.

🍷 Serving Suggestions

  • Garlic mashed potatoes
  • Green bean almondine
  • Cranberry sauce or gravy
  • Roasted carrots or Brussels sprouts

📦 Storage & Leftovers
