Preparation

Step 1

Directions
Turkey Breast
With the rack in the lower position, preheat the oven to 200?C (400?F).
Open the turkey breast and lay flat. Place lengths of string under the breast so the ends extend out from each side. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the stuffing down the middle. Close and tie.
In a large skillet or Dutch oven, brown the turkey breast on all sides in the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
Turn the oven down to 170C (325F) and continue roasting until a meat thermometer inserted in the centre of the stuffing reads 74C (166F), about 2 1/4 hours.
Remove from the oven, tent with aluminium foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice, removing the string as you go. Place the slices on a warm serving platter.
