50 Healthy Thanksgiving Recipes: Boneless Turkey Roast unique

Quinoa-Stuffed Spinach and Feta Boneless Turkey Roast

Ingredients:

  • 2-3 pounds boneless turkey breast
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking twine or toothpicks

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. In a saucepan, bring the vegetable or chicken broth to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the quinoa is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

  3. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté garlic and red onion until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and stir in the cooked quinoa, feta cheese, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.

  4. Lay the boneless turkey breast flat on a clean surface. If needed, pound it gently to even thickness. Spread the quinoa-spinach mixture evenly over the turkey, leaving about an inch border around the edges. Roll up the turkey breast tightly and secure with cooking twine or toothpicks.

  5. Season the outside of the turkey roast with additional salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.

  6. Place the turkey roast on a baking dish or roasting pan and bake in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  7. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Remove cooking twine or toothpicks before slicing.
