Turkey Breast Crusted With Hazelnuts and Lemon image

As light but elegant entree, this hazelnut and lemon crusted turkey breast would be ideal. I got it from Turkey Farmers of Ontario.

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs skinless boneless turkey breasts
1/2 cup hazelnuts, toasted with skins removed
2 lemons
3 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons butter, softened
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F).
  • Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast in oven for 5 to 10 minutes (watch carefully as they burn very quickly).
  • When they are lightly toasted, remove from oven and roll hazelnuts between a few sheets of paper towel or in a dry tea towel to remove most of the skins.
  • Sort nuts from skins, discard skins and set nuts aside.
  • Zest and juice 1 lemon.
  • Place zest, juice, hazelnuts and remaining ingredients, except remaining lemon, into a food processor and pulse until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  • Thinly slice second lemon and layer into bottom of a lightly oiled shallow baking dish.
  • Place turkey breast on top of lemon slices and evenly press nut crust over top of entire breast.
  • Bake in oven for 1 hour or until a meat thermometer registers 74 C (165 F). If crust starts to brown, cover lightly with a piece of foil or parchment paper.
  • Let rest for 5 minutes after removing from oven, slice against grain and serve.
