Stuffed Turkey Breast Roll Roast

Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a crucial step as starting with a preheated oven ensures even cooking of the turkey roll.

While your oven is heating up, lay the turkey breast flat on a cutting board. To do this properly, butterfly it open and pound it to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. This technique ensures the turkey cooks evenly and allows for easier rolling.

In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley, parmesan cheese, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. I always taste the mix at this point. Remember, these are the flavors that will infuse into your turkey

Spread this breadcrumb mixture all over the turkey. Once done, begin to carefully roll up the turkey lengthwise, tucking in any stray ingredients during the process. The process can be a bit messy, but helps you achieve that perfect swirl of flavours.

Secure the rolled turkey breast with cooking twine. This will keep the roll intact during the cooking process.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and brown the turkey roll on all sides. This process caramelizes the outer layer delivering that attractive color and a depth of flavor.

Once browned, place the roll in a roasting pan and add the chicken broth. The broth not only helps in avoiding the turkey to dry out, but also creates a flavourful base for gravy.

Cook in your preheated oven for about an hour, or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remember, overcooking can make the turkey tough and dry, so keep an eye on the time and temperature.

Let the turkey roll rest for approximately 15 minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a moist and flavorful turkey.
