Ricotta Cranberry Turkey Rolls
Posted by terrepruitt on April 22, 2021
I took out some turkey for dinner recently. I had thought it was ground turkey, you may know how I cook ground turkey all the time sometimes adding a vegetable sometimes not. I can serve it with anything; rice, pasta, potatoes, bread or in a tortilla. It is very easy to cook and very versatile. Well, it wasn’t ground turkey it was turkey breast fillets. They were somewhat of a mistaken purchase. I didn’t know what to do with them but then I remembered I have a bag of cranberries. People eat cranberries with turkey so I thought I could put them in the turkey.

Ricotta Cranberry Turkey Rolls
Turkey breast fillets (5)
Salt
Pepper
Ricotta cheese (about 3/4 cup)
Dried cranberries (1 cup to 1 1/4 cup)
Sherry
Balsamic vinegar
Mozzarella
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Lay the turkey breasts out sprinkle them with salt and a little pepper. Put about a tablespoon of ricotta on one end and then sprinkle with cranberries. Roll up each breast and place in a baking dish. Sprinkle with sherry and balsamic vinegar. Add another sprinkle of salt. Place in the oven. After about 15 minutes take the dish out and put some mozzarella on top of each roll. Then put back in the oven for about 15 minutes.
Make sure the meat is fully cooked before serving.
You can serve with some cranberries sprinkled on top.

This was yummy. I was super happy that is was good. But you know me I love that ricotta cheese!
What do you do with dried cranberries?
I forgot to take a picture of it on our plates, but it wouldn’t have looked any better than this. I do not like to spend time pretty “plating” my food.

I think I remember eating dried cranberries just as they were like raisins. They were bitter but I remember enjoying the taste.

Yes, unsweetened cranberries are very bitter . . . at least fresh ones are . . . I never had dried ones. These ones are sweetened.
