How to Make Apple Stuffed Turkey Breast Roast

1. **Prepare Stuffing:** Sauté 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped celery in 2 tablespoons butter for 2-3 minutes until softened.
2. Add 1 medium apple (peeled, cored, and diced), 1/4 teaspoon sage, 1/4 teaspoon thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Sauté for 1-2 minutes more.
3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of cubed bread.
4. Moisten with 1/4 cup turkey or chicken stock. Set aside to cool.
5. **Prepare Turkey Breast:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
6. Place a 1-1.5 lb boneless, skinless turkey breast flat on a cutting surface. Butterfly the breast by slicing through the meat horizontally, stopping about 1 inch from the far edge.
7. Open the breast like a book.
8. Cover with plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
9. Spoon the cooled stuffing evenly onto one half of the breast.
10. Fold the other half over the stuffing and secure with skewers or toothpicks.
11. Place in a greased roasting pan.
12. Whisk together 1/4 cup apple juice and 1 tablespoon melted butter.
13. Brush the mixture over the turkey.
14. Tent the turkey breast loosely with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
15. Uncover and baste with the remaining apple juice mixture.
16. Bake for another 30-40 minutes, or until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
17. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
18. **Prepare Sauce:** In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup turkey or chicken stock and 1 teaspoon cornstarch.
19. Pour into the roasting pan and stir to combine with the pan drippings. Cook until thickened and clear.
20. Spoon the sauce over thick slices of the stuffed turkey breast.
21. Serve immediately with mashed potatoes and your favorite vegetables.
