Rustic Italian Stuffed Turkey Breast

Prep Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 1-4.5 hours 4-5 servings

Ingredients

1 Granny's Boneless, Skinless Turkey Breast
1 tbsp | 15 ml olive oil
1/4 cup | 65 ml pancetta or bacon, diced
1 tbsp | 15 ml butter
1/2 cup | 125 ml fennel, diced
1/4 cup | 65 ml green onion, diced
1 tbsp | 15 ml garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup | 125 ml chicken stock, homemade or low sodium
2 cups | 500 ml crusty Italian bread, cubed
3 tbsp | 45 ml fresh Parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 tsp | 1.25 ml sea salt
To taste ground pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°F).
In a frying pan, sauté bacon in oil until crisp.
Add butter, fennel, onion and garlic and cook until lightly browned.
Add stock and then transfer to a mixing bowl. Add bread cubes, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper and mix until stock is absorbed.
Make a cut in the top of the turkey breast from one end to the other, not cutting all of the way through. Create a large pocket in the turkey breast by cutting a slit further on each side.
Place the stuffing mixture into the pocket.
Place the breast on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover the stuffing area with a greased piece of foil.
Bake for 40 minutes, remove foil and continue baking for another 20 minutes or until it reaches a minimum internal temperature of 170°F (80°C).
Let stand for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
