Spicy Stuffed Wild Turkey Breast

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 Course
Serves: 4 people

Recipe Ingredients

4   Wild turkey breast halves - boned, skinned,
  And butterflied
  Salt - to taste
  Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste
1 1/2 cups 219g / 7.7ozJack cheese
1/2   Red onion - diced
2   Limes - juice only
4   Garlic cloves - minced
1/2 cup 73g / 2.6ozSeasoned breadcrumbs
  = (or cornmeal stuffing)
1   Jalapeño pepper - seeded, diced fine
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlChili powder
1/4 teaspoon 1.3mlGround cumin
1/2 cup 8g / 0.3ozCilantro leaves
1 cup 62g / 2.2ozTomato salsa

Recipe Instructions

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.
