Gefüllte Putenbrust

Zutaten

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 medium onion (minced)
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh herbs (chopped (such as sage, rosemary, thyme))
• 6 oz portobello mushrooms (thinly sliced)
• 5 oz spinach
• 1/4 c pine nuts
• 3 1/2 lb turkey breast (young)
• 6 oz brie cheese (thinly sliced)
• salt (pepper)
• 1 tablespoon butter

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking dish with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Heat olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add onion and saute, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until it softens.

3. 3

   Add mushrooms and cook for about 10 minutes until they start to brown. Season with ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper, and add 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs.

4. 4

   Stir in spinach and cook until it’s wilted, about 2 minutes. Add pine nuts and remove from the heat. Transfer the filling to a bowl to cool. If necessary, add more salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Lay the turkey breast on a cutting board. Insert the knife horizontally into the thickest side of the turkey breast. Carefully cut along the length of the breast, maintaining the knife parallel to the board, and stop cutting about 1/2 inch before the opposite edge.

6. 6

   Open the turkey breast. Cover it with a film and, using a meat tenderizer or rolling pin, pound the turkey breast starting from the thickest part until the entire piece has the same thickness. Season the turkey with ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper.

7. 7

   Before putting the filling on a turkey, make sure the filling is well-drained, and there’s little to no liquid in the bowl.

8. 8

   Arrange sliced brie on a turkey breast, leaving a 1 to 1 ½ inch border. Spread the mushroom spinach filling evenly over the cheese. Tightly roll the turkey breast and use kitchen twine to tie the roll.

9. 9

   Place the turkey seam-side down in a prepared baking dish, or if you will make a gravy afterward, put the turkey rolls on a baking rack placed inside the baking dish.

10. 10

    Brush with melted butter mixed with the remaining ½ tablespoon of chopped herbs.

11. 11

    Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 185°F, basting the turkey 3-4 times during baking.
