Easy Stuffed Turkey Breast Recipe for Thanksgiving

by partysugar 1

Don't have the time or patience to cook an entire turkey? Then consider making a boneless turkey breast. It roasts for about an hour and can be filled with your favorite stuffing recipe. When the breast and stuffing are rolled together and tied, it even has a fancy sounding name that will impress your guests: turkey roulade. You'll need kitchen twine to hold the whole thing together, so don't forget to pick some up at the store. The key is to watch it carefully to ensure that it doesn't overcook. When a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast says 165°F, it's done. To check out the excellent recipe I made over the weekend at a pre-Thanksgiving dinner, read more.
