Enjoy the taste of fall with this one-dish meal made with turkey breast rolled and stuffed with ham and rice pilaf that's mixed with pear, celery and raisins. Top the turkey rolls with a flavorful jam that's made from apricot preserves. We found that letting the rice pilaf rest for a few minutes after cooking and before adding it to the dish makes it a bit fluffier. This lets the steam out, giving the rice a chance to fluff out. Running a fork through the rice helps to separate it, which also makes it fluffier. Serve this with asparagus for a delicious dinner.

Unprepared rice pilaf mix

6 oz

Pear

1 medium, cored and diced

Celery

Raisins

2 Tbsp

  3. Layer turkey breasts between 2 sheets of wax paper; pound gently to flatten. Remove wax paper. Top each breast with a slice of ham and spread each with about 1/4 cup rice to within 1/2-inch of edge. Roll up gently from wide end; secure rolls with toothpicks. Spoon remaining rice pilaf into baking dish. Place turkey rolls, seam-side down, on pilaf. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake, covered with foil, abotu 30 minutes.
