Stuffed Turkey Thighs
Makes 4 servings
| 1 lb | Eden Valley boneless, skinless turkey thighs | 500 g |
| 1 cup | cooked rice | 250 ml |
| 1/2 cup | onion, chopped | 125 ml |
| 1/2 cup | carrot, grated | 125 ml |
| 1 | small apple, chopped | 1 |
| 1 tbsp | fresh parsely, chopped | 15 ml |
| 1/2 tsp | poultry seasoning | 2 ml |
| 1/4 tsp | EACH: salt and pepper | 1 ml |
| 1/4 cup | orange marmalade or any fruit jelly | 50 ml |
|
Cut turkey into 4 equal-size portions. Lay pieces on a flat surface and cover with plastic
wrap. Pound with a meat mallet to flatten each piece to uniform thickness of about 1/2 inch
(1 cm). Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together rice and all remaining ingredients except marmalade.
Place one-quarter of the rice mixture on each turkey thigh. Roll up, starting at the shortest
end. Secure with toothpicks and place in a greased baking dish. Brush turkey with marmalade.
Cover and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 60 to 70 minutes, until turkey is tender.
Alternative: One large turkey thigh can be stuffed whole, then sliced for serving. (Allow twice the cooking time). Or, four turkey thigh cutlets pounded thin, work well.
