    Ingredients 

    • 1 Whole turkey breast hawed, butterflied, and tenderized
    • 5 cups Stuffing of your choice
    • 4 tablespoon Butter melted
    • Kosher Salt
    • Freshly Ground Pepper

    Instructions

    • Heat the oven to 325°F.
    • Lay the turkey breast flat on a cutting board with the skin side down. Crack fresh pepper and salt on the meat. Spoon the stuffing onto the meat and spread a half-inch layer on the breast. Do not make the stuffing too thick or the meat will be difficult to roll.
      1 Whole turkey breast, Kosher Salt, Freshly Ground Pepper, 5 cups Stuffing of your choice
    • Take one of the short ends of the turkey breast and tightly roll it as you would a jelly roll. Use the bakers twine to tie the roast every couple inches until the meat is tied and secure.
    • Place the roulade on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet, seam side down. Evenly coat with the melted butter and sprinkle salt and pepper on top. Place in the oven and roast for 1 ½ hours, or until the center of the roulade reaches 150°F. Remove from the oven, cover with foil, and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. Cut the twine.
      4 tablespoon Butter
    • Slice the roulade into ½"-thick pieces and serve immediately.
