Turkey Roll

Turkey Rolls at Cure Artisan Meat & Cheese

Cure’s signature holiday specialties are now available for special order. We were inspired to make the Turkey Roll so people could have both light and dark meat and a turkey that is easy to roast. Essentially it is a turkey roast but better. We have been making these stuffed turkey rolls in house for seven years as a specialorder entree dish just for the holidays.

The turkey roll is the best of both worlds. Light and dark meat in one. We brine (a brine is a salt, sugar, water, and spice solution that adds moisture and brings out the flavour of the meat) a skin-on boneless turkey breast overnight for juicy flavours so you don’t need to add any extra seasoning. Next we pound it out flat for tenderness. After pounding we stuff with a house-made sausage stuffing and rolled and tied.

Cooking a Turkey Roll

Every turkey roll comes with easy-to-follow instructions so all you need to do is take it home and roast it. Each roll varies in size, but on average it takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes to roast at
