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
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and cook until softened.
- 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.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the breadcrumbs and maple syrup. Mix until well combined.
- 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.
- Divide the stuffing evenly among the turkey fillets, spreading it out in a thin layer.
- Roll up each turkey fillet tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks to hold the paupiettes together.
- 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.
- 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).
- Remove the paupiettes from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the turkey paupiettes with cranberry sauce and enjoy!
