Ingredients
Scale
1, 3 ½ lb Turkey Breast, skin off
2 tbsp Olive Oil
½ bunch of fresh thyme
1 ox dried porcini mushrooms
1 ¼ lbs mixed mushrooms
2 tbsp unsalted butter
3 sprigs of fresh rosemary
1 ¾ oz sun dried tomatoes
1 tsp truffle oil
Flour, for dusting
26oz all-butter puff pastry (cold)
8 slices prosciutto
1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Rub the turkey breast with 1 tbsp olive oil and a good pinch of salt and pepper.
- Rinse the thyme in hot water to reawaken it, then strip the leaves all over the meat.
- Place the dried porcini mushrooms in a medium bowl and cover with boiling water to rehydrate.
- Roughly slice the fresh mushrooms and place them in a safe, stove-top casserole dish with butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the porcini mushrooms and some of the water (discard the gritty bit), strip in the rosemary leaves, then add the sundried tomatoes and truffle oil.
- Cook and stir for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden and the water has evaporated.
- Pulse in a food processor until fairly fine, season to taste, and leave to cool.
- To assemble the Wellington, on a clean flour-dusted surface, roll out each pastry block to the size of a shoe box. Then make one 25% larger than the other.
Assembling the Wellington:
- Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet, dust with flour, and lay out the smaller piece of pastry on top.
- Spread half the mushroom mixture in the middle, roughly the same size and shape as your turkey breast.
- Place the turkey on top and evenly spread the remaining mushroom mixture on top of it.
- Lay slices of prosciutto evenly over the turkey breast, overlapping them slightly.
- Brush the edges of the pastry with a beaten egg. Layer the larger sheet of pastry over the top and gently mold it around the shape of the breast, pushing out air and press to seal.
- Trim the edges to a width of 1 ½ inches, then crimp the edges by twisting, tucking and pinching the pastry.
- Brush the whole thing with beaten egg and sprinkle sea salt over the top
- Cook in the oven for 50 mins to an hour or until puffed up and golden. The internal temperature of the turkey breast should be 160°F. Leave to rest for 10 minutes, then slice into 1-inch thick slices and serve with gravy and cranberry sauce.
