Ingredients:
1/2 cup whole almonds |
2 teaspoons fennel seeds |
1/3 cup cognac or other brandy |
1/4 cup water |
2/3 cup dried cranberries |
2/3 cup dried apricots (about 8 medium), coarsely chopped |
2 medium shallots, minced |
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened |
2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus additional for seasoning |
freshly ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves |
2 boneless, skinless turkey breast halves, butterflied (about 5 to 6 pounds) |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
3 cups white wine |
1/2 cup chicken broth |
Directions:
1. 1. Preheat oven to 400F.
2. 2. Spread almonds and fennel seeds on a baking sheet and cook until golden and aromatic, about 10 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Warm cognac and water in a small saucepan, add cranberries and apricots, and set aside until plump, about 10 minutes.
3. 3. Coarsely chop almonds and fennel in a food processor. Add fruit with liquid, shallot, butter, 2 teaspoons salt and pepper, to taste and pulse until fruit and nuts are coarsely chopped. Add parsley and pulse once or twice more.
4. 4. Place turkey breast halves on a cutting board. Divide and spread fruit mixture evenly over them, leaving about a 1-inch border. Starting with long end each breast, roll up and
5. tie with butchers twine. Season generously with salt and pepper.
6. 5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, and heat until shimmering. Sear turkey roulades, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Place roulades on a rack set in a roasting pan and pour 2 cups wine over meat. Roast, uncovered, until an instant-read thermometer, inserted into meat center, registers 165F, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Transfer breasts to a carving board, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes. Carve into 1-inch thick slices.
7. 6. Place roasting pan over medium heat on stovetop. Add remaining 1 cup wine and stir using a wooden spoon to release browned bits on pan bottom. Add chicken broth and cook until syrupy, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve turkey with pan sauce.
