Ingredients  

  • 4 Tbsp olive oil divided
  • 4 cloves garlic minced, divided
  • 1 large white onion
  • ½ cup black and green olives pitted and cut into small pieces
  • ½ cup dried tomatoes cut into small pieces
  • freshly cracked black pepper   to taste
  • ½ cup mascarpone cheese
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 boneless, skinless turkey breasts approx. 1 lb
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • ½ cup poultry broth
  • 1 cup 35% whipping cream
  • 3 Tbsp fresh chives minced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 °F (77 °C).
  • Chop garlic.
  • Slice the onion into rings, about 1 cm thick.
  • Cut the olives and dried tomatoes into small pieces.
  • In a skillet, brown the 2 garlic cloves in 2 tbsp of olive oil, then add the mix of olives and dried tomatoes. Since the olives and tomatoes are naturally salty, simply add pepper to taste.
  • Add mascarpone cheese and stir gently to create a smooth texture and let simmer for 5 minutes at low heat. Avoid burning. Set aside olive, tomato and mascarpone stuffing. Do not wash the skillet, as it will be used later.
  • Place turkey breast flat on a clean surface, open with a sharp knife and spread stuffing in the center of the turkey breast. Season with pepper, to taste, and tie up with kitchen twine.
  • In the same skillet used to cook the stuffing, brown 2 minced garlic cloves in 2 Tbsp of olive oil. Be careful not to let the garlic burn. Then brown turkey roast 2 minutes on each side.
  • Put turkey roast on the onion rings in a baking dish. Add water and cover with foil.
  • Cook turkey roast in the center of the oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the flesh of the turkey, without touching stuffing, reaches 170°F (77°C).
  • In the same skillet set at high heat, pour white wine to deglaze and scrape any remaining small pieces stuck on the skillet. Add poultry broth and let reduce.
  • Add cream and let simmer for 5 minutes, until liquid has slightly reduced.
  • Top with fresh chives and serve with sauteed zucchinis and baby potatoes. Cover turkey roast with sauce and enjoy!
