Ingredients

  • 3-4 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Cup thin-sliced leak thoroughly washed and dried
  • 2 Cups diced shitake mushrooms
  • 3 Cloves of garlic finely chopped
  • 1 Teaspoon salt
  • ½ Teaspoon white pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh sage
  • 2 Tablespoon fresh rosemary
  • 1 Cup dried figs stems removed, chopped
  • 1 Cup boiled chestnuts chopped
  • 3 Tablespoons pine nuts toasted
  • ½ Cup dry white wine
  • ½ Cup chicken broth
  • 2 Cups corn bread stuffing seasoning
  • 1 Whole 2 halves turkey boneless breasts
  • 3 Large carrots peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 Celery ribs cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 Parsnip cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 Cup of chicken stock
  • 1 Cup dry white wine
  • 1 Teaspoon thyme
  • 2 Tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F.
  • Over medium heat in a large skillet, add olive oil, onion and leeks.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally until they are soft (about 8-10 minutes).
  • Add mushrooms, garlic, sage, rosemary and cook for 5 minutes more.
  • Add wine, dried figs, chestnuts, pine nuts, corn bread stuffing and chicken broth.
  • Stir it to combine.
  • Transfer the mixture to a large bowl, and let it cool.
  • Meanwhile, cut the turkey breast into two separate halves.
  • Butterfly each half to make a flat surface.
  • Cover each half with plastic wrap. With a meat mallet gently pound each half to flatten. Remove the plastic.
  • Lay each butterflied turkey breast on a cutting board. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt and one teaspoon pepper.
  • Spread the stuffing mix equally on each turkey breast, and roll them up creating two neat even logs like two jelly rolls.
  • Tie the roll firmly with kitchen twine every 1½ inches to make two compact cylinders.
  • In a large roasting pan, add carrots, celery, parsnip. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, thyme and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  • Place the turkey breast on top of the vegetables. Add chicken stock and wine.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, and then reduce heat to 375 F, and bake for 35-40 minutes more, or until your instant-read thermometer registers 160 F.
  • Remove the pan from the oven. Cover it with foil, and let the contents rest for 10 minutes.
