Stuffed Turkey Breast
Servings
8 Servings
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion peeled and diced
- 6 button mushrooms sliced (about 2 cups)
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cup frozen spinach defrosted and drained well
- 2 boneless skinless turkey breasts (about 2 pounds)
- 1 large egg beaten
- 3 tablespoons matzoh meal
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- pinch red pepper flakes
- 1 cup chicken broth
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (evoo) in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté 4 minutes, or until slightly softened.
- Add mushrooms and garlic; sauté 5 to 7 minutes more, or until tender
- Stir in spinach and cook 2 minutes; cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Working with one turkey breast at a time, carefully slice horizontally through the middle, without cutting all the way through, to make a large pocket in the center.
- In a large bowl, combine mushroom and spinach mixture with egg, matzoh meal, parsley, salt, and pepper flakes; stir to combine.
- Divide mixture evenly between each turkey breast and stuff to fill the pocket.
- Heat remaining 3 tablespoons evoo in a large dutch oven or heavy bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Sear turkey breasts for 3 to 5 minutes per side until lightly browned.
- Carefully add broth; cover and transfer to preheated oven. Cook 45 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Let rest 10 minutes before cutting each breast into 8 slices.
This was so good. We made it tonight for dinner and made some alternations. We don’t like mushrooms so we removed them. Added fresh spinach instead of frozen because I had it in the fridge. Added mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. Used bread crumbs because we didn’t have matzoh meal. Was a great way to have turkey. Thank you!
breadcrumbs, or potato starch or just leave it out.
What can I use instead of matzoh meal?
