Over Yom Tov, corned beef, French roast, ribs, or veal are very likely to land on our menus. This fantastic main is a light alternative. Turkey roast is so moist, and the stuffing actually helps it retain all that moisture. Although it’s light, the stuffing has a rich flavor and helps the roast make a great impression when sliced.

Prepare the Spinach Stuffing
-
Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for three minutes. Add peppers and garlic and sauté an additional five minutes.
-
Add spinach. Lower heat to medium-low and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
-
Stir in whole wheat crumbs, egg, salt, onion powder, and pepper. Let spinach stand a few minutes before stuffing.
Prepare the Turkey Roast
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Stuff the center of the butterflied turkey breast with the spinach mixture. You will have the best results if you push the stuffing in from both ends. Place turkey in a roasting pan.
-
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, water, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, and pepper. Pour over turkey roast, turning the roast so that the marinade reaches all sides.
-
Sprinkle evenly with parsley flakes. Cover and bake for one and a half hours. Let cool before slicing.

How do you butterfly the turkey?
Hi I bought my turkey roast but it does not have a hole down the middle, or butterflied. Is there a way for me to do that myself or must I buy it like that from the butcher?
