Tools

  • pan with lid
  • medium pot with lid
  • knife
  • cutting board
  • vegetable peeler
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper or non stick liner
  • foil
  • small bowl
  • poultry string
  • mallet
  • meat thermometer

Preparation

1

Prepare and cook the rice: Turn on the oven to 375F. In the sink, place the rice in a strainer and rinse it well.  In a pot, add the wild rice and brown rice blend, water (1 1/2 cup, 3 cup), salt (1/8 tsp, 1/4 tsp) and pepper (1 pinch, 1/8 tsp) and stir. Bring to a boil on high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook 35 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside.

1

Prepare the stuffing ingredients: While the rice is cooking, peel the apple. Cut the onions, apples and celery in 1/2 cm dices. Separate the fresh thyme leaves. Finely mince the fresh sage and dried cranberries. 

2

Cook the vegetables and Italian sausage:  Add the oil (1 tsp, 2 tsp), salt (1 tsp, 2 tsp), onion, celery and apples to a pan on medium heat. Cook 5 minutes until the onion is translucent.

Remove the Italian sausage meat from the casing. Add the Italian sausage meat to the onion mixture. Cook about 10 minutes until the Italian sausage is fully cooked. Add the fresh thyme, sage, cranberry mustard and dried cranberries to the Italian sausage. Turn off the heat.

3

Finish the stuffing: Add the cooked wild rice and brown rice blend to the cooked vegetables and Italian sausage. 

In a small bowl, whisk the egg (1, 2). When the stuffing is at room temperature add the egg and combine.  It’s important the stuffing is almost room temperature when the egg is added, otherwise it would cook in the stuffing.

4

Prepare the Turkey roll:  While the stuffing is cooling, cut 4 14 inches long pieces of poultry string. Place a few inches apart on a cutting board. Place the turkey roll skin side down over the poultry strings. Pound the turkey with a mallet to an even thickness of about 1 inch. 

5

Stuff and cook the turkey roll: Scoop the stuffing into the center of the turkey. Holding the turkey, roll them up away from you, making sure the roll ends up seam-side down. Tie the 4 poultry strings across and tie one string lengthwise. Transfer to a lined baking sheet. Lightly oil (1 tbs, 2 tbs) and salt (1/2 tbs, 1 tbs) the outside of the turkey roll. 

IMPORTANT: Do not discard the turkey dripping in the pan. You will need them for the gravy.

6

Bake & serve:  Bake until the internal temperature registers 155F on an instant-read thermometer (about 45 minutes, about 1 hour 20 minutes)  Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.Keep an eye on the turkey roll while baking, to prevent the skin from burning you can place foil over the roll – don’t tighten the foil. Slice. Serve.

IMPORTANT: Do not discard the turkey dripping in the pan. You will need them for the gravy.

bon appétit!
