How to Make a Turkey Roll Step by Step
Fry the Bacon: Fry 5 slices of bacon until crispy. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Then, crumble the bacon. Make the Stuffing: In the same pan with the bacon grease, add in ½ of a chopped onion and a sprinkle of salt. Sauté until softened. Add in 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 chopped apple, ½ cup of dried cranberries, and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs. Cook for a few minutes until the apples are softened. Stir in ½ cup of breadcrumbs, ⅓ cup of chopped pecans, and the crumbled bacon. Pound the Turkey: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place 1 3-4 pound boneless, skinless turkey breast between 2 pieces of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Pound the turkey thin with a rolling pin or meat mallet. Spread an even layer of the apple cranberry mixture over the surface of the turkey breast. Roll the Turkey: Gently roll up the turkey breast and secure it with kitchen twine. Combine 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, ½ teaspoon of onion powder, ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon of ground paprika in a small dish. Rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the spices over the outside of the turkey breast. Bake the Turkey: Place the turkey in a greased casserole dish and cover with foil. Bake for 35 minutes. Then, remove the foil, and bake for another 15 minutes. Broil for the last 2-3 minutes if desired. Let the turkey rest for 5 minutes. Then, slice and serve with gravy.
