Spicy Stuffed Wild Turkey Breast

Ingredients

  • 4 wild turkey breast halves boneless and skinless, butterflied
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups jack cheese
  • 1/2 red onion diced
  • 2 limes juice only
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs or cornmeal stuffing – my favorite
  • 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and finely diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
  • 1 cup tomato salsa

Instructions

  • Season turkey breasts liberally with salt and pepper. In a bowl, combine remaining ingredients except salsa. Place some of the stuffing mixture, about 1/4 inch thick, evenly on each breast. Starting from one end, roll the breast tightly, tucking in the ends with your fingertips as you roll. Place each breast, seam side down, in a greased shallow baking dish. Cover with lid or foil and bake in a 375 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes, depending upon the size of the breasts. When cooked, allow the breasts to rest for a few minutes and then slice each into 3 to 4 sections. Serve with salsa.
