STUFFED TURKEY BREASTS

Category: Turkey

2 turkey breast halves, boned, (about 3 lbs each)
5 tbsp soy sauce, divided
2 tbsp dry sherry
1/2 tsp sugar
8 slices day-old bread, shredded
1 cup finely chopped celery
2/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions and tops
3 tbsp butter, melted

Remove fillets from breast halves; reserve for another use. Starting with thinner edge, cut each breast in half lengthwise, horizontally, almost all the way through. Up up the breasted and pound to 1/4 inch thickness.

Combine 3 tbsp soy sauce, sherry and sugar in a resealable bag and add breasts, skin side down; marinate 30 minutes.

Combine next 4 ingredients in a bowl. Blend subber with remaining 2 tbsp soy sauce; pour evenly over bread mixture and toss together until most and crumbly.

Remove turkey; reserve marinade. Spread 1/2 of stuffing mixture on 1/2 of each breast half, leaving a narrow border along outside edges; pack stuffing down slightly. Clost and secure breasts with skewers or toothpicks; brush with reserved marinade. Place on a roasting rack in baking pan and roast at 325 for 1 hour 15 minutes or until tender; brush with reserved marinade every 30 minutes. Remove to serving platter; let stand 15 minutes. Just before serving, remove skewers and cut crosswise into 1/2 inch thick slices. Serves 8-10
