Preparation Steps
1
Slice the turkey breast fillet into thin, even slices so they can be rolled. Cover with plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness.
2
In a bowl, combine the cream cheese with the finely minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the pre-washed and drained spinach, and mix well to combine.
3
Lay out the turkey breast slices and evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over them. Sprinkle with the dried cranberries, then carefully roll up each slice like a roulade.
4
Tie the roulade with kitchen string to help it maintain its shape during cooking.
5
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Sear the roulade on all sides until golden brown.
6
Pour the chicken stock into the skillet, add a sprig of fresh thyme, and cover. Simmer over low heat for 30-35 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through.
7
Remove the roulade from the skillet and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
8
Serve the sliced roulade with steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes, and drizzle with the sauce from the chicken stock.
