Published 6th December, 2024

Ingredients

  • 2 kg Barossa Fine Foods turkey breast roll
  • 80g unsalted butter
  • 4 tbspn extra virgin olive oil plus extra as needed
  • 4 cloves garlic sliced
  • 2 brown onions, peeled & chopped
  • 100g Barossa Fine Foods pancetta roughly chopped
  • 3 tbspn rosemary finely chopped
  • 2 cups course fresh breadcrumbs
  • 3 tbspn lemon thyme finely chopped
  • 1 bunch parsley roughly chopped
  • 1 lemon zested
  • Sea salt & cracked black pepper to taste

Method

  1. Place the turkey breast, skin side down on a chopping board. Butterfly the thicker part of the breast and then gently flatten with a meat mallet so that the breast thickness is the same all over. Set aside.
  2. Place the breadcrumbs, lemon thyme, parsley, lemon zest and onion mixture into a large bowl and mix together well. Stir through just enough Extra Virgin Olive Oil to bring the stuffing together. Season to taste with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  3. Pre-heat a fan forced oven to 180°C.
  4. Place the turkey breast on a chopping board, skin side down. Spoon the stuffing down the centre of the breast. Lift 1 side over the stuffing, then roll over so that the stuffing is now contained within the breast. Using butchers’ twine, truss the breast at 2 cm intervals along the length to secure it into a compact roll.
  5. Place the turkey breast onto a large, lined baking tray, brush with olive oil and season with sea salt. Place into the pre-heated oven and roast for 1 hr & 30 mins or until the centre reaches 62°C on a meat thermometer.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 mins.
  7. To serve, slice into thick slices and serve with pan juices.

To make stuffing

  1. To make the stuffing: Heat the butter and olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic and pancetta, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 10 mins or until caramelised. Add the rosemary and cook for a further 2 to 3 mins, then remove from the heat.
