Turkey Wellington

Ingredients

1.6 kg boneless, skinless turkey breast

2 Tbsp olive oil

2 * 500 g packets puff pastry dough chilled

6-8 strips turkey bacon

1. Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Drizzle oil over the turkey, season with the seasoned salt mixture on all sides then set aside.

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, place the turkey on the pan then loosely cover with tin foil and bake in the oven for 60 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165˚F. Remove and allow to cool.

3. Dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry to about the size of a shoebox. Place the turkey bacon in overlapping layers (widthwise) over the dough.

4. Place a portion of the stuffing over the bacon and spread out with a silicone spatula for the length of the breast. Place the turkey breast on top of the mixture, cover on top and all sides of the breast with the stuffing to adhere (add more broth to the bowl of stuffing if needed). Wrap both ends of the bacon around the breast.

5. Roll out the other pastry sheet, place on top of the turkey breast and lightly press to form, brush the edges with egg wash, tuck in the ends to seal and pinch in layers around the turkey to form edges like a pie crust.

8. Place the turkey on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly dusted with flour. Brush the top and sides with egg wash, use a fork to score the pastry with a decorative design (optional) or add leaves to the dough made from excess puff pastry.

9. Bake for 40 minutes or until the puff pastry is beautifully golden and done. Remove from the oven and leave to cool for about 10 minutes before carving.
