Turkey Breast with Cranberry and Leek Stuffing

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. oil
  • 20 g butter
  • 2 leeks, finely sliced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 4 slices pancetta, finely chopped
  • 2 tsps. finely chopped sage
  • 1 cup fresh bread crumbs
  • 125 g PHILADELPHIA Block Cream Cheese, chopped and softened
  • Finely grated rind of 1 orange
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1.7 kg turkey breast fillet
  • Salt
  • 2 onions, extra, thickly sliced
  • 1 cup Tokay or sherry, for deglazing
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 1 strip orange peel
  • 50 g quince paste, chopped
  • 2 tsps. cornflour, dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
  • Roast potatoes, for serving
  • Steamed vegetables, for serving


Method

  1. Heat the oil and butter in a frypan and then add the leek, onion, pancetta and sage and gently cook for 5-10 minutes or until onion has softened
  2. Add the bread crumbs, cranberries, PHILLY, orange rind and pepper and mix to combine. Chill
  3. Cut a deep pocket in the side of the turkey fillet and fill with the PHILLY mixture, spreading into an even layer. Secure with toothpicks if required, then season with salt
  4. Place the extra sliced onion in the bottom of a metal baking dish and top with turkey. Bake in a moderate oven 180°C for 11/4- 1/1/2 hours or until cooked when tested
  5. Remove the turkey from the baking dish and wrap in foil to rest in a warm place
  6. Warm the baking dish on a medium high heat, add the Tokay and stir to loosen pan juices. Add the chicken stock, orange peel and quince paste and simmer for 10 minutes or until reduced and thickened slightly
  7. Stir in the blended cornflour and stir over a low heat until thickened. Strain and keep warm whilst carving the turkey. Serve the turkey sliced with a drizzle of sauce, roast potatoes and steamed vegetables. Serve immediately
