Spicy Stuffed Wild Turkey Breast

Spicy Stuffed Wild Turkey Breast
Makes 4 - 6 servings
Ingredients:
  • 4 wild turkey breast halves, boneless and skinless, butterflied
  • 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (or cornmeal stuffing - my favorite)
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely diced
  • 1 1/2 cups jack cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 limes, juice only
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Cooking Directions:

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 15 to 20 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.
