Cullen's Fig Apricot Stuffed Breast
7 lb Turkey breast, parts of the ribs and wings attached
1 1/2 tsp Salt
1 1/2 tbl Freshly ground black pepper
4 tbl Minced fresh sage
4 tbl Minced fresh rosemary leaves
Dried Fig and Apricot Stuffing
Kat's Fig & Apricot Dressing
STF72
Method :
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Rub the turkey breast inside and out with the salt and pepper, then with the
herbs. Discard the herbs or, for a stronger impression, leave some of the herbs
clinging to the breast, or tuck them under the skin.
Tuck some of the Dried Fig and Apricot Stuffing under the skin as well as
filling the breast cavity. Place the turkey skin side up on a piece of foil
(to protect the dressing), then place on a rack in a roasting pan.
Roast for approximately 2 1/2 hours, or about 25 minutes per pound. If you are
using a meat thermometer, insert it into the thickest part of the breast, almost
to the bone, before placing the breast in the oven. When the thermometer reads
185 degrees, the meat is done. Let the turkey stand at least 10 minutes and up
to 30 minutes before carving.
Serves 6 to 8.
