Roasted Turkey Breast Stuffed With Herbs Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

4 lb boneless turkey breast with skin
1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp grated lemon zest
Salt, (optional), to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
Refrigerated butter-flavored cooking spray, as needed
1 tsp olive oil
1 cup dry white wine
= (or 1/2 cup fat-free low-sodium canned
chicken broth and 1/2 cup water)
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Fresh rosemary sprigs, for garnish
Lemon slices, for garnish

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

If your butcher has not already done so, open the turkey breast and flatten it to look like a large veal cutlet. In a small bowl combine parsley, rosemary, garlic, and lemon zest. Rub the herb mixture on the inner side of the turkey and season with salt (if using) and pepper. Roll up the turkey breast and tie securely with string.

Spray a large heavy casserole with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and when hot, brown the turkey breast on all sides until golden, about 6 to 7 minutes per side. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until wine is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Add the lemon juice.

Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and place the casserole in the oven and bake for 1 hour, basting twice with pan juices. Remove foil and continue to roast for another 40 to 50 minutes, basting occasionally, until an instant-reading meat thermometer reaches 170 degrees. Remove from oven and transfer turkey to a carving board or plate to rest for 10 minutes.

To serve, cut the string and remove the skin from the turkey breast. Slice thinly and arrange on a heated serving platter. Garnish with rosemary sprigs and lemon slices.
