| Turkey Rolls |
- Roll out each turkey breast. Pound to an even thickness, about 1/4-inch.
- Spread each turkey breast with a thin layer of pesto.
- For each turkey breast, layer 4 ounces of spinach on top of pesto; cover with 4 ounces of cheese.
- Starting at the small end, roll turkeys into a cylinder shape. Dust with cumin.
- Spray a sheet pan with non-stick food release. Place both rolled turkeys on the sheet pan.
- Partially roast in a preheated 350 degree F. oven for 20+ minutes to an internal temperature of 140 degrees F. Remove from oven.
- Lift each turkey roll and place on 2 puff pastry sheets. Wrap puff pastry around turkeys, allowing 1/2-inch overlap. Seal ends. Place decorative puff pastry leaves atop and brush with egg wash.
- With seam sides down, place turkey rolls on a clean sprayed sheet pan. Return turkeys to the 350 degree F. oven for 15 minutes, increase temperature to 425 degrees F. and continue to bake for 15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 170 degrees F.
