Chestnut Stuffed Turkey Breast

Recipes Main Courses
Fear of dry turkey is groundless here: the filling steams meat from inside, while bacon (or butter) protects outside. Chestnut's sweet, nutty flavor is a classic pair with poultry, conjuring festive vibes. This dish is a textbook example of sweet & savory harmony.

Instructions

1 ✓

Pound turkey slices thin, careful not to tear. Salt and pepper both sides.

Tip: Place plastic wrap over meat before pounding to protect fibers and prevent splashing.
2 ✓

Make filling: sauté crushed garlic in butter, add mashed chestnuts and cream. Cook to thick paste, mix in chopped parsley.

Tip: Filling should be moldable, not runny.
3 ✓

Spread filling on meat, roll up tight, secure with toothpicks.

Tip: Try to tuck in ends so filling doesn't leak.
4 ✓

Place rolls seam-side down in buttered pan. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 35-40 minutes.

Tip: If you have bacon, wrap it around the meat for protection and extra flavor.
5 ✓

Rest 10 minutes before slicing.

Tip: Slicing hot may cause filling to fall out.

Recipe FAQ

What if it split during baking?
No worries, filling browns a bit, which is even tastier. Use more toothpicks next time!
Which chestnuts to use?
Plain cooked chestnuts or unsweetened puree. Sweetened puree is too sugary for this.
