Ingredients:

10 oz spinach
280g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 tbsp dried parsley
1.60g
2 oz feta cheese
54g
2 oz ricotta cheese
54g
2/3 cup onion
50g
1 tbsp fresh parsley
3.80g
1 tbsp dill
0.55g
1 egg
50g
12 oz turkey breast
340g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
1/4 tsp black pepper
0.52g
1/4 tsp garlic powder
0.78g
1/4 tsp dried thyme
0.35g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Spinach:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the spinach. Cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, drain any excess liquid, and chop the spinach.
3. Sauté Onions:
In the same skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
4. Combine the Filling:
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the wilted spinach, sautéed onions, dried parsley, fresh parsley, dill, feta cheese, ricotta cheese, and beaten egg. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
5. Prepare the Turkey Breast:
Lay the turkey breast flat on a cutting board. If needed, use a meat mallet to pound the turkey breast to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
6. Season the Turkey:
Season both sides of the turkey breast with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme.
7. Stuff the Turkey Breast:
Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly over the turkey breast, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
8. Roll and Secure:
Carefully roll the turkey breast tightly, starting from one end. Secure the seam with toothpicks or kitchen twine to hold the roll in place.
9. Bake:
Place the stuffed turkey breast in a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the turkey is cooked through.
10. Rest and Serve:
Once baked, remove the turkey breast from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Remove the toothpicks or kitchen twine, slice the turkey breast into rounds, and serve immediately.

Tips:

- Ensure to thaw the spinach thoroughly and squeeze out any excess water to avoid a soggy stuffing.

- Pound the turkey breast to an even thickness for easier rolling and even cooking.

- Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure it's cooked through.

- If desired, you can sear the stuffed turkey breast in a skillet before baking to achieve a golden-brown crust.

- Let the turkey rest for a few minutes before slicing to retain the juices and keep it moist.

By following these steps, you can create a delectable spinach stuffed turkey breast that is sure to be a hit. The combination of spinach, feta, and ricotta cheeses, along with the aromatic herbs and spices, makes this dish an exceptional choice for any dining occasion. Enjoy your culinary masterpiece with your favorite side dishes and relish the compliments from your delighted diners!
