For the turkey breast
- 1 turkey breast 2-3 lb
- 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- cooking twine or toothpicks
For the stuffing
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 cups mushroom diced
- 2 scallions
- salt & pepper
- 1/2 parsley minced
- 1 cup fresh cranberries
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1/2 cup feta diced
- 5 dried apricots diced
Preheat the oven to 190 C /400 F. Set a wire rack on a baking dish. Lay the turkey breast smooth-side down on a cutting board. Slice horizontally 1 inch off the outer edge so that you can open that side like a book and have 1 long piece.
Cover turkey breast in plastic food wrap and pound the turkey with a mallet to an even thickness of about 1 inch. Season turkey from both sides and spread generous amount of Dijon mustard.
In a medium skillet, preheat olive oil and add minced scallions, minced mushrooms, fresh cranberries, dried apricots and cook for 5 minutes. At the end add a teaspoon of brown sugar, feta cheese and parsley.
Scoop the stuffing into the centre of the turkey. Roll the turkey up away from you, making sure the roll ends up seam-side down. Tie with twine in 3 spots across the roll and once lengthwise, or use toothpicks to secure the turkey breast. Transfer to the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 1 hour. In between baking, pour some juices over the turkey breast, at least twice. After 1 hour of baking, remove the cover and let bake for another 15 minutes. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice and serve with mashed potatoes, with a little spoon of Dijon mustard on a side or cranberry sauce. Enjoy!
