Stuffed Turkey Spirals Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 1-1/4 hours

Yield: 30 Servings

20 75 95

Ingredients

2 boneless skinless turkey breast halves (1 pound each)
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
4 teaspoons dried basil, divided
1 pound thinly sliced deli ham
1 pound thinly sliced Swiss cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
BASIL SAUCE:
2 cups mayonnaise
1/2 cup milk
1 to 2 tablespoons dried basil
1 teaspoon sugar

Directions

Cut each turkey breast horizontally from the long side to within 1/2 in. of opposite side. Open flat; cover with plastic wrap. Flatten into 12-in. x 10-in. rectangles.
Remove plastic; top each with 1 teaspoon oil and 1 teaspoon basil. Layer with ham and cheese to within 1 in. of edges. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; tie with kitchen string. Place on a rack in a roasting pan.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper and remaining oil and basil; spoon some over turkey.
Bake at 325° for 75-90 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170°; basting occasionally with remaining oil mixture.
In a blender, combine the sauce ingredients; cover and process until blended. Cool turkey for 5 minutes before slicing; serve with basil sauce. Yield: about 30 servings.
