Herb Stuffed Turkey Breast Wrapped in Prosciutto, Sliced and Ready to Serve
I am a huge klutz…cute, but klutzy 🙂 I have the most horrible photo shoot set up. I actually set my tripod in my sink and broke a lens when making this, so forgive the overexposed photo! Oh well- at least this Herb Stuffed Turkey Breast Wrapped in Prosciutto is yummy, right? 🙂
How to make Herb Stuffed Stuffed Turkey Breast wrapped in Prosciutto
- Step 1 – Butterfly your turkey breast. I know, that sounds daunting but you can’t screw this up. Here is a little video if you need help. But basically you cut half way down the middle then out to the sides so it opens up like a book. It doesnt have to be pretty for this dish. NOTE: if you buy it in a roll, like Butterball, when you unwrap it, there may be a couple pieces. Do not panic. Simply butterfly the biggest breast to lay flat and tuck the remaining pieces around it so it looks like one large breast. Once you wrap this baby up in prosciutto, no one will be the wiser! Mine was in 3 pieces…can’t tell!
- Step 2 – cover with chopped herb and garlic mixure.
- Step 3 – Roll up, using your parchment to help you. Just keep tucking and rolling. Right when you think it won’t work…it does!
- Step 4 – lay your thinly sliced prosciutto over the top, slightly overlapping. Tucking the ends of the prosciutto under your rolled up turkey breast. Tie with 4-5 pieces of string.
You are done and you are amazing! Now time to go enjoy your Herb Stuffed Turkey Breast Wrapped in Prosciutto!
You can see this doesn’t have to be perfect when it goes into the oven, but it will be perfect when you take it out and slice it….I promise!
Serve this with these delicious side dishes:

Thank you Sue! Merry Christmas!
Just ran across this recipe and it sounds perfect for our Christmas! Thank you for a recipe that is – finally- exactly everything I was looking for! I will be sure to update when I have actually tried my hand at it, but I have high hopes.
It’s pretty forgiving Rebecca – even if you mangle the turkey the Prosiutto wraps it all up nice and pretty :). Hoping to hear something wonderful!
Hi! This looks amazing!
Did you bake it covered or uncovered?
Uncovered! Sorry for the delay in my response!

Made this for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit! Soo good! Great alternative to roasting a whole bird or if you’re just entertaining a small crowd 🙂
Hi Karina! I’m so glad it worked well for you….I love this recipe! I’m going to try it with chicken breasts next time!
Kathi: So sorry to read about your ‘disaster in the kitchen’, and the loss of your 55mm lens! I smiled when I read that you actually set your tripod up in the sink, but we all do what we need to…. in order to get the best final result. Your recipe for ‘Herb Stuffed Turkey Breast Wrapped in Prosciutto” sounds delicious! I’ll save this recipe for an upcoming dinner party, since my family and I like the traditional whole roasted turkey with dressing on Thanksgiving Day. I like all of the fresh herbs which you used in the stuffing, so I’m sure that this ‘Stuffed Turkey Breast’ will turn out perfectly, and that we’ll all enjoy it. I’m sure it will earn 5 * (after I serve it).
Thanks Angela! You always leave me the nicest notes! On our way downtown to look at a new lens…holy $$$’s …ugh!
