Fascinating yet close enough to sci-fi to give me the creeps.

Turkey breast w/cranberries and cilantro-pesto

04-Aug-08

(the shot is a bit off-focus and no effort was put into the presentation)

 

Ingredients:

  1. Two Turkey Breasts
  2. about half a cup of dried cranberries
  3. about a quarter cup of pignolias (or pine-nuts as some know them)
  4. Cilantro Pesto (about two table-spoons worth)
  5. Four toothpics
  6. Teriyaki Sesame Sauce (I would say about a quarter cup)
  7. White wine

Directions:

  • Slice each turkey breast in such a way as to turn them into a pocket
  • Divide and mix your cranberries and pignolias into two somewhat even portions
  • Stuff the breasts with the cranberries and nuts
  • Pin each closed using the toothpics
  • Mix the wine teriyaki and cilantro pesto into a non-reactive bowl
  • Place the breasts into the sauce to marinate
  • Let them soak for half an hour to an hour
  • place the sauce and breasts into an oven-safe container (the sauce will help the breasts maintain moisture while cooking them)
  • Pre-heat oven to 350
  • cook-em for about 20-minutes (though I would use your own judgement here–you don’t want to dry out the breasts and there is quite a bit of variation among ovens)

You should end up with something like this (though I had already eaten most of it before I thought to post the recipie here–I’ll do better next time.)
