This is probably the most difficult Easy Peasy recipe I have as it involves a few more more steps than usual. But it still requires less prep and time than cooking an entire turkey. The finished product is worth the extra effort and it is really nice as a special occasion meal. For this recipe I am using turkey breast but chicken and pork are excellent substitutes as well.

• Ingredients
• 2 large turkey breasts
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 1 cup apples, peeled (if desired) and diced
• 1/2 cup sliced or slivered almonds
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• pinch of salt
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 cup apricot jam
• 1/4 cup dijon mustard

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a pan, heat the butter over medium heat and saute the apples and almonds for 5 minutes. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar and salt and stir. Set aside. Meanwhile, make the glaze by combining the chicken broth, jam and dijon mustard in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Then turn the heat down to low and simmer while the rest of the recipe comes together. It will thicken slightly. Set aside 1/2 cup for basting the turkey as it cooks.

Next place each turkey breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound the meat to approx 1/4 inch thick. You want the meat to be as even as possible but not so thin that it falls apart. Place 3-4 heaping spoonfuls of the apple mixture into the center of each turkey breast and carefully roll up. Secure with tooth picks along the seam. Then place the roll-ups into a baking dish and brush with 1/2 cup of the glaze. Cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes, basting once with additional glaze, until turkey is no longer pink inside. To check you can cut the roll in half to ensure it’s cooked thoroughly. Remove from the oven and place onto a cutting board. Slice into rounds and then remove toothpicks. Serve additional glaze as a sauce alongside.
