Transform traditional Christmas turkey with barbecue-smoked breast filled with a sweet and crispy stuffing.
Ingredients:
  • 60g butter
  • 1 small brown onion, finely chopped
  • 187.50 ml macadamia nuts, finely chopped
  • 187.50 ml fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp finely grated orange rind
  • 2 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 173.25 gm orange juice
  • 117.98 gm honey
  • 1.6kg single turkey breast, skin-on (see note)
  • Gravy, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a medium frying pan over medium heat, melt half of the butter. Sauté the onion for 5 minutes until softened. Add nuts and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until golden. Stir in breadcrumbs, orange rind, rosemary, 2 tablespoons of orange juice, and 1 tablespoon of honey until combined. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the rest of the butter, orange juice, and honey. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered on low for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly thickened. Let it cool.
  • Lay the turkey skin-side down on a board. With a sharp knife, carefully cut along one side of the breast, making sure not to cut all the way through. Open up the breast fillet. Spread the stuffing along the center of one half of the breast. Roll the breast to wrap the stuffing inside, then secure the turkey by tying it with kitchen string at 2cm intervals.
  • Preheat the barbecue on medium heat with the hood closed. Put the turkey, skin-side-up, in a large disposable foil baking tray. Brush the turkey with half the butter mixture, season with salt and pepper, and cook using indirect heat with the hood closed for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until done (cover loosely with foil if over-browning). Remove from the barbecue, cover with foil, let it rest for 10 minutes, slice thinly, and serve with gravy.
