Simple & delicious this recipe is sure to impress without the stress.

Turkey

1 x 1-1.5kg boneless Turkey breast with skin
1 tablespoon melted Butter

Pistachio and cranberry stuffing

40 g Butter
1 Onion chopped
100 g chopped pancetta rind removed
1 crushed Garlic Clove
120 g fresh white breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Sage
100 g craisins sweetened dried cranberries
50 g roughly chopped Pistachios
sea salt
Ground black Pepper

Turkey

Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F/Gas 5). Put the turkey breast, skin-side-down, on a board.
Spoon the cooled stuffing down the middle of the breast and then roll up the turkey to enclose the stuffing.
Tie the turkey with kitchen string every 2 cm (about an inch) to secure and then place in a large roasting tin.
Brush the entire surface of the turkey with melted butter.
Roast for 40 minutes, or until golden brown and the juices run clear when you poke a skewer into the thickest part of the breast.
Cover loosely with foil and leave to rest for 15 minutes before carving.

Pistachio and cranberry stuffing

Heat the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3–4 minutes until softened.
Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until cooked through.
Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
Tip everything into a large bowl.
Add the breadcrumbs, sage, craisins and pistachios, season well and stir together.
Leave to cool completely before using.

  It was half a cup of dried cranberries, a few tbsps of sugar, a cup of water and the zest and juice of an orange in a saucepan and cooked for 15 mins until reduced and syrupy ... yum!

Im cooking this for christmas day...but I'm SURE that the cooking time was longer than the 40 mins suggested here..? 40 mins sounds too short for such a large piece of poultry.

I used this stuffing at Christmas but because of people with wheat allergies in the family, replaced the breadcrumbs with arborio rice & it was delicious!
