Sausage-Stuffed Turkey Breast Roulade

Juicy Sausage Stuffed Turkey Breast Roulade, an elegant and utterly delicious alternative to the whole roasted turkey. It's a butterflied boneless turkey crown rolled with a sausage and sage stuffing, and roasted until the top is wonderfully golden brown, and the meat is moist and cooked to perfection. Perfect for a small holiday table, or if you fancy something a bit different this year.

Ingredients

1 boneless turkey breast (1.5 kg, 3 lb)
400 g pork sausages (13 oz)
1 onion
1 teaspoon dried sage leaves
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
50 g salted butter (3.5 tbsp)
1 teaspoon paprika
20 g breadcrumbs (⅓ cup)

Instructions

Butterfly the turkey breast and use a meat tenderizer or rolling pin to flatten it as much as you can.
Peel and chop the onion.
In a frying pan, add half of the butter and allow it to melt over a medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, season it with a pinch of salt, and fry it until golden.
Skin the sausages and add them to a large bowl together with the breadcrumbs, sage, fried onions, half of the remaining salt and half of the black pepper.
Mix well to get a paste.
Layer the sausage paste over the turkey breast, making sure it's as even as you can, then roll it tightly into a roulade.
Transfer it to an ovenproof dish, season with salt, pepper and paprika, and top with the remaining butter cut into cubes.
Roast in the preheated oven at 190 degrees Celsius (375 Fahrenheit) for 1 hour and 40 minutes, basting occasionally.
Remove it from the oven, cover the turkey with kitchen foil, and allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

Notes

The weight of the turkey breast is crucial in finding out the perfect cooking time. Cook it for 20 minutes per kg (2 lb) plus 70 minutes. My turkey breast weighted 1.5 kg, so I cooked it for 100 minutes.
Make sure you roll the turkey breast really tight, so the stuffing stays in. You can also use kitchen string if you wish to make sure everything is secure.
