Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup dried chestnuts
  • 1/2 large turkey breast
  • 2 Bosc pears, peeled, cored and cut into 1/4-inch chunks
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
  • 1 cup fresh bread crumbs
  • 2 eggs, beaten

Method

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the chestnuts with water to cover.
  • Bring to a boil and boil for 20 minutes.
  • Drain well.
  • Have your butcher butterfly the raw turkey breast to a consistent 1/2-inch thickness.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together the chestnuts, pear cubes, rosemary leaves, bread crumbs, and eggs and mix well.
  • Season the surface of the turkey breast with salt and pepper and lay the stuffing mix on top.
  • Roll the breast and stuffing up like a jelly roll and tie with butcher's twine.
  • Place in a roasting pan and roast for 60 to 75 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer reads to 155F at the center.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to rest 10 minutes before carving.
