Preparation

What You Need

1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh thyme
1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh rosemary
1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh sage
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
3 oz (90 g) Canadian Miranda or
Canadian Gruyère cheese, in 1/4-in (6 mm) cubes
1 turkey roast (2 turkey breasts tied together), 1 to 1.5 kg (2 to 3 lbs)
1 large carrot, peeled and chopped
1 celery stick, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 cup (250 ml) Chardonnay white wine
2 cups (500 ml) chicken broth
1 cup (250 ml) 35 % cream
Salt
Pepper, to taste

Instructions

Using a food processor, chop thyme, rosemary, sage and garlic, gradually adding oil until mixture turns into a smooth paste. Transfer to a bowl and add Canadian Miranda cheese cubes.

Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F).

Make an incision lengthways along the center of roast and stuff with herb and cheese mixture. Place roast in roasting pan, surround with vegetables, pour over wine and 1 cup (250 mL) of chicken broth.

Bake in oven until thermometer inserted in the centre of roast indicates 80 °C (170 °F), or until juices run clear when roast is pierced. Calculate about 40 minutes per kilogram (20 minutes per pound).

Remove turkey from roasting pan and place on a serving plate. Blend cooking juice in a blender, then pour into a saucepan. Reduce or add chicken broth to obtain 2 cups (500 mL) of liquid. On high heat, bring to the boil, blend in cream and season with salt and pepper. Slice roast and pour over sauce. Serve with rice and vegetables.
