Ingredients

• 4 turkey breast fillets
• 2 cups breadcrumbs
• 2 apples, peeled and diced
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Cranberry sauce, for serving

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and cook until softened.
3. Add the diced apples, pecans, dried sage, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the apples are slightly softened.
4. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the breadcrumbs and maple syrup. Mix until well combined.
5. Place the turkey breast fillets between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
6. Divide the stuffing evenly among the turkey fillets, spreading it out in a thin layer.
7. Roll up each turkey fillet tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks to hold the paupiettes together.
8. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey paupiettes and sear them on all sides until browned.
9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the paupiettes for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
10. Remove the paupiettes from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
