Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Sausage Stuffing

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
  • 8 ounces uncooked Italian sausage (about 2 links), casings removed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped thyme, oregano, or rosemary (or 1 teaspoon ground & dried herbs)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage, or 1 teaspoon dried ground sage
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
  • 1.5 cups chicken or turkey broth
  • 8 cups croutons or dried stuffing cubes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

For the Turkey

  • 3 pound turkey breast, de-boned and skin-on
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Make the stuffing: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté celery and onion until softened, about 3–4 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  3. Add sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned.
  4. Stir in fresh herbs (thyme, oregano/rosemary, sage), parsley, salt, and pepper.
  5. Remove from heat, then mix in croutons, beaten egg, and chicken broth. Stir until well combined and slightly moist.
  6. Prepare the turkey: Lay the de-boned turkey breast flat and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Place the stuffing evenly along the center of the turkey breast. Roll the breast tightly and secure with kitchen twine.
  8. Place stuffed turkey breast in a roasting pan and roast for 60–75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  9. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with extra stuffing on the side if desired.

Notes

  • You can add dried cranberries or nuts to the stuffing for extra flavor and texture.
  • Make sure to let the turkey rest after roasting to retain juices.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the turkey is fully cooked but not overdone.
