Spicy Stuffed Wild Turkey Breast Recipe - Cooking Index
While living in Arizona during the mid to late 70's, I developed a taste, more like a craving, for Southwestern flavors. I like it spicy, but not so hot that my eyes water. Some folks can enjoy a habanero pepper or two. I'm not one of them.
Courses: Main Course4 | Wild turkey breast halves - boned, skinned, | |
And butterflied | ||
Salt - to taste | ||
Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste | ||
1 1/2 cups | 219g / 7.7oz | Jack cheese |
1/2 | Red onion - diced | |
2 | Limes - juice only | |
4 | Garlic cloves - minced | |
1/2 cup | 73g / 2.6oz | Seasoned breadcrumbs |

1 | Jalapeño pepper - seeded, diced fine | |
1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Chili powder |
1/4 teaspoon | 1.3ml | Ground cumin |
1/2 cup | 8g / 0.3oz | Cilantro leaves |
1 cup | 62g / 2.2oz | Tomato salsa |
Season turkey breasts liberally with salt and pepper. In a bowl, combine remaining ingredients except salsa. Place some of the stuffing mixture, about 1/4-inch thick, evenly on each breast. Starting from one end, roll the breast tightly, tucking in the ends with your fingertips as you roll.
Place each breast, seam-side down, in a greased shallow baking dish. Cover with lid or foil and bake in a 375 degree oven for 18 to 24 minutes, depending upon the size of the breasts.
When cooked, allow the breasts to rest for a few minutes and then slice each into 3 to 4 sections. Serve with salsa.
This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
