Turkey Rouladen with Wild Rice and Gouda Cheese

2 boneless turkey breast halves, skin on
12 slices Wisconsin Smoked Gouda cheese
Salt and pepper

 

Supreme Sauce:
3 tablespoons whole sweet butter, separated
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pint chicken broth
1 cup whipping cream
salt and white pepper, to taste

 

Stuffing:
1 cup uncooked wild rice
1/2 cup Craisins® (dried cranberries)
1 sprig fresh rosemary, finely chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste

1. For Supreme Sauce: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in sauce pan. Add flour, stirring until smooth. Add broth gradually to flour/butter mixture; cook gently until reduced by 25 percent. Add whipping cream, reducing again by 25 percent. Finish with remaining tablespoon of butter. Season with salt and white pepper; set aside.
2. For Stuffing: Cook wild rice according to package directions and chill. Combine with Craisins, fresh rosemary, salt and pepper to taste.
3. To Assemble: Place a turkey breast half, skin side down. Cut (butterfly) almost in half horizontally. (Or ask your butcher to do this.) Open breast and pound with meat mallet to a uniform thickness of 1/2-inch, working toward a rectangular shape. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Place six Gouda slices on breast. Spread 1/2 of stuffing atop Gouda. Roll up like a pinwheel, ending with skin on top. Tie with butcher’s twine. Repeat with remaining breast.
5. Place meat thermometer in center of one breast.
6. Roast at 325°F (160°C) for about 45 minutes or until meat thermometer reaches 170°F (80°C). Allow to stand for 15 minutes and slice.
7. Serve with warmed supreme sauce.
