Stuffed Turkey Breast Steaks in Blankets serve 2 upwards so perfect for a small scale Christmas celebration! Turkey breast steaks are stuffed with sausage meat flavoured with orange zest and parsley, then wrapped in bacon and finished off with fronds of rosemary.
Small Scale Christmas Dinner
At this time of year it’s expected that most of us will have a turkey dinner at Christmas or Thanksgiving.
However, not everyone needs or can consume an entire turkey in their household. Some people have vegetarians in their family and others just need to cater for one or two. With this in mind, I decided to make Stuffed Turkey Breast Steaks in Blankets for a small scale Christmas dinner.
This turkey dinner serves 2 but you can scale it up to however many servings you need.
You could almost call this an emergency Christmas turkey dinner!
Sometimes plans change at the last minute so turkey, pigs in blankets and sausage meat stuffing can be hard to come by at the last minute. These Turkey Steaks in Blankets are like having your Christmas turkey and all the trimmings rolled into one!
Can you prepare the turkey steaks in advance?
Stuffed Turkey Breast Steaks in Blankets are easy to make and prep in advance. You could assemble them in the morning and then cover and leave in the fridge until needed.
Where can you buy turkey breast steaks?
