Baked Turkey Breast Wrapped In Bacon And Stuffed With Spinach and Mozzarella

So I have decided to become somewhat fancy and cook something completely out of my comfort zone. A stuffed turkey breast. After watching countless episodes of Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsey, I finally decided it was time to stop salivating over their fabulous creations and start cooking! A stuffed turkey breast was much easier to create than I had anticipated.


Ingredients for 2:

2 Turkey breasts
2 Thick slices of mozzarella
2 Slices of bacon (The good kind. No low fat stuff here)
2 Handfulls of fresh spinach
2 Tbsp of herbed cream cheese
5-6 Scallions
1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
Olive Oil
1Tsp Butter
1/2 Cup of Cream
Salt
Pepper

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius. Pat dry the turkey breasts and cut deep pockets into the meat. Spread the cream cheese into the pocket and stuff the spinach into the crevice. Place the mozzarella onto the breast and secure by wrapping the bacon slice firmly around the turkey breast.  Place into a baking dish and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile clean the scallions and chop into 3-4 parts. Sautée in a pan with some olive oil, salt and pepper until almost limp. Melt the butter in a small sauce pot and whisk in the mustard. Add the cream, some salt and pepper.

Plate the scallions as a nest on the plate and spoon the mustard sauce on top. Take the turkey breast out of the oven and place on top of the scallions.

Pretend you are a fancy cook and let everyone oooh and aaah over your fabulous wonder creation.

Enjoy.
