Ingredients :

1/2 x Fresh uncooked turkey breast, with skin, (about 4 pounds)
3 tbl Essence
3 tbl Olive oil, in all
4 oz Chopped andouille sausage, casings removed, (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup Chopped onions
1/4 cup Chopped celery
1/4 cup Chopped green peppers
2 tbl Minced garlic
1/4 cup Chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp Salt
3 x Turns freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup Chicken stock
3 cup Cornbread crumbs
2 doz oysters, shucked and cleaned
1/4 cup Chopped green onions
8 x Leaves of spinach, blanched
5 x Lengths butcher's twine
1/2 cup Mashed potatoes
    Long chives

 Method :
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the turkey breast, skin side down, on a flat surface. Butterfly by making a series of small cuts vertically in the meat, without cutting all the way through. Place a sheet of plastic wrap over the turkey meat and pound it with a mallet until very thin and flat. Remove the plastic wrap and sprinkle the meat with 1 tablespoon Essence. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over high heat.
Add the andouille, onions, celery, and bell peppers and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the garlic, parsley, and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the Worcestershire, hot sauce, salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon Essence and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the stock and fold in the bread crumbs and oysters and cook for 1 minute. Fold in the green onions and remove from heat. Spread the spinach over the turkey, top with the stuffing and roll up, tucking in the ends. Lay 4 pieces of twine under the roll crosswise and tie. Slide the last piece under lengthwise and tie. Sprinkle the skin with the remaining 1 tablespoon of Essence and oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the roll on a baking sheet and roast until cooked, but tender, about 1 hour, basting occasionally. Remove from oven and allow to rest. Cut into 16 slices.
