Servings: 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 3 lb boneless turkey breast skin on
For filling
- 4 ounce cream cheese at room temperature
- ½ cup spinach chopped
- ⅓ cup kalamata olives sliced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
For outer seasoning
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
- Pat the turkey breast dry with a kitchen towel. Slice it horizontally and open it up. Pound to an even thickness and set aside.
- For the filling, mix cream cheese, spinach, olives, garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Spread the filling evenly over the turkey. Roll it tightly from one end to the other.
- Brush melted butter over the turkey and season with paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Tie with twine to secure the roll.
- Place the turkey roll on the prepared tray and bake for 30-35 minutes, broiling for 2-3 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
Notes
- Pound the Turkey Evenly: Flattening the turkey helps with even cooking and makes rolling easier.
- Don’t Overfill the Roll: Too much stuffing can make it difficult to roll and cause it to burst open while cooking.
- Secure with Twine: Kitchen twine helps keep the roll intact while roasting.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F to avoid undercooked turkey.
- Let It Rest Before Slicing: This keeps the juices from running out, keeping the turkey moist.
