Stuffed Turkey Breasts

I decided to switch it up this year for Christmas dinner and made turkey.  Instead of a complete repeat of Thanksgiving, I stuffed turkey breasts with pancetta, leek and sage stuffing and roasted them.  My family doesn’t really like dark turkey meat, so I thought I would get all white meat.  When I went looking for fresh turkey breasts they were hard to find and the frozen ones came in a plastic bag that you couldn’t see what you were getting.  Trader Joe’s had turkey tenderloins (which looked like large chicken breasts without skin) and I bought some.  To make the gravy, I bought 3 turkey necks and made a turkey stock the day before and used the stock after I roasted the tenderloins to make the gravy.  I roasted some root vegetables and Brussels sprouts (a family favorite) and made some cranberry sauce.  Stuffed turkey breasts would be good to make if you are craving turkey and don’t want to roast a whole turkey and it isn’t the holidays!  Click here for the recipe….
