Spinach & Feta Stuffed Turkey
Serves 6-8
Ingredients
- 1 large, boneless turkey breast half (1 3/4 pounds)
- 8 oz. sliced prosciutto
- 1 (6 oz.) package pre-washed spinach
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 small eggs, lightly beaten
- 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2/3 cup feta, crumbled
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and add spinach and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until spinach is wilted and garlic is fragrant, but not burned. 5-6 minutes.
- Transfer spinach and garlic to a medium bowl and stir in feta, breadcrumbs and lightly beaten eggs. Season with salt and pepper and oregano, and set aside.
- Butterfly cut (horizontally) your turkey breast without cutting through completely. Open breast, as you would a book, and lay it out flat.
- Place between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound it out to 1/2-inch thinness. Discard plastic wrap and season turkey with salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 325 F.
- Spread prosciutto out over turkey, then cover with spinach mixture.
- Roll turkey into a wrap and secure with toothpicks.
- Heat remaining olive oil and butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add turkey and brown on all sides. About 5 minutes.
- Pour in white wine and chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Cover and bake for 40 minutes, or until turkey is cooked through.
- Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes, then slice and serve hot.
