Brie- and Basil-Stuffed Turkey Breasts

Category: Thanksgiving

2 boneless, skinless turkey breast halves, each about 1 1/2 pounds
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound Brie or Camembert cheese, rind on, cut into 8 slices
20 fresh basil leaves
3 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Make a large pocket-like slit in each turkey breast half. Unfold like a book. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place cheese and basil evenly on half of each breast. Fold over filling. Loosely wrap each breast with half the prosciutto about 3 slices for each. Place turkey in roasting pan.
Place in oven and roast 35 to 45 minutes. Turkey is done when a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 160 degrees F. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes; the temperature will increase at least another 5F. Slice and serve hot or at room temperature. Be sure to capture all the pan juices to spoon over sliced turkey.

Serves 6.
