Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  • Make the stuffing by combining Italian sausage, bacon, crumbled roasted chestnuts, chopped green olives, and dried sage in a bowl. Start with 1 teaspoon each of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, and adjust seasoning to taste.
    ½ lb Italian sausage, 4 slices bacon, 1 cup roasted chestnuts, ½ cup green olives, 2 teaspoon dried sage, Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Use your fists to flatten the turkey breast as best as possible, and rub some cooking fat over it.
    2 tablespoon cooking fat, 4 lb boneless turkey breast
  • Place the turkey breast skin side down on a baking dish and spread the stuffing on top. Roll the breast around the stuffing and secure it with butcher’s twine.
  • Season the stuffed breast all over with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  • Bake the stuffed turkey breast for about 1 hour, or 14 minutes per pound, until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Add more sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  • Let the turkey rest for 10 minutes before cutting the twine and serving with the cooking juices. Adjust seasoning with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper as desired.

Notes

  • Make sure not just the turkey, but also the stuffing has reached the safe temperature of 165°F before serving. 
  • Let the turkey rest for at least 5 to 10 minutes before slicing to serve.  This ensures it stays moist and juices remain in the meat.
