  1. This dish was excellent as is. I had a turkey breast I needed to make and found this recipe to try. The stuffing was moist and flavorful and the glaze tasty. We devoured it. I have made it another time since. It's a keeper. Thanks!
     
  2. What a great recipe!! The stuffing was flavourful, moist and that glaze was to die for! All in all, a really fantastic recipe and perfect for when there's only 2 of you and you don't need an entire turkey!
     
  3. Made a day ahead for Thanksgiving, the recipe was easy to put together. Only sub was a small apple chopped for the carrot. The turkey was moist and tender and the cranberry glaze really made the dish. The only change I'll make the next time centers on the bread I used for the stuffing: even though it was an artisan-type loaf, once stirred into sauted veggies and broth, it became too soft/mushy. I think I'll use leftover biscuits and cornbread for the stuffing next go round.... AND make a pan full on the side b/c everyone enjoyed the stuffing they had and asked for more. This recipe is already on my Christmas dinner menu... great presentation and downright delicious!
     
  4. Delicious! We made this for our Thanksgiving and it was a huge hit. It looked as good as it tasted. The cranberry sauce was a real surprise. The ginger with the lemon juice added a wonderful depth of flavor which I will use again. Thanks so much!
     
  5. Outstanding! Made this for our Christmas Eve dinner and it was absolutely beautiful. I prepared the Stuffing and Glaze as directed, but instead of folding the pounded turkey breast over "book-like" and securing with toothpicks, I prepared a roulade for presentation purposes. As mentioned above this was not only beautiful but easy to prepare and delicious! It is so hard here in the Netherlands to find/purchase the "whole" turkey one would traditionally have for Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years Dinner - This recipe is a super keeper!
