Ingredients
To make Stuffed Turkey Breast, you'll need:
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 2 medium onions
  • 6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to season
  • 6 x 200g turkey breasts (opt for a thicker breast as you are going to fillet it)
  • 180g cheddar cheese, grated
  • 100g gruyere cheese, grated
  • 12 slices Parma ham
  • Steamed broccoli and cauliflower
  • Juice of a lemon

Method

  • Pour a tablespoon of olive oil into a saucepan and place over a medium heat until the oil warms up. 
  • Sauté the onions for around 4 minutes, add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. 
  • Season the mixture with salt and pepper, then set it aside to cool down.
  • Partly fillet the turkey breast. 
  • You should open up the turkey enough to make a small pocket, then stuff the cheddar and gruyere inside that pocket.
  • Season the turkey breasts with salt and pepper, and wrap two slices of Parma ham around each breast.
  • Drizzle the turkey breasts with the rest of the olive oil and bake at 180°c or Gas Mark 4 for 25 minutes, ensuring that the ham is crispy and the chicken is fully cooked. 
  • To test if the turkey is cooked, stick a skewer in it: when it comes out, the juice should be clear and not be at all pink.
  • Serve along with steamed broccoli and cauliflower, dressed with some lemon juice.
