Turkey roulade stuffed with gammon and spiced apples
- 1 x turkey breast, deboned
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 6 large Swiss chard spinach leaves, blanched and refreshed in ice water
- 1/2 cup Golden Delicious apple, diced
- 1/2 cup diced cooked gammon
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground all spice
- 11/2 rolls (600g) ready-made puff pastry
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
-
Butterfly your turkey breast, being careful not to go all the way through.
-
Season your turkey breast pieces with salt and pepper.
-
Place turkey breast pieces on blanched big spinach leaves.
-
Pan-fry your diced apple and cooked gammon together, and add the sugar and all spice.
-
Place filling on the turkey breast and roll into a roulade and wrap spinach around to make a parcel.
-
Use a lattice cutter to form a diamond pattern of puff pastry that is big enough to form a cage over the top of the turkey – cut off excess pastry – do not put any pastry at the bottom of the Turkey as it will not bake properly and end up been soggy.
-
Egg wash the pastry and bake in the oven at 200’C for about 20 minutes until your pastry is golden brown.

CHEF’S TIP: If you cannot find turkey breast – you can use chicken breast and you can do any filling of your choice.
