Instructions
1
Place cabbage, potato and apple in a 4.5 litre (18-cup) slow cooker. Add combined cider and mixed spice. Cook, covered, on low for 4 hours (or high for 2 hours).
2
Meanwhile, cut each turkey breast in half horizontally. Place 1 piece of turkey between 2 layers of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound turkey until about 1cm thick. Repeat with remaining turkey pieces. Process bread in a food processor until coarse crumbs form.
3
Combine breadcrumbs, shallots, cranberry sauce, thyme, mustard and half the parsley in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Place one-quarter of the stuffing mixture onto the short end of each turkey piece. Roll up to form log-shaped rolls and secure with toothpicks.
4
Lightly spray a large non-stick frying pan with oil and heat over high heat. Cook turkey rolls, turning, for 2–3 minutes or until browned. Transfer to slow cooker. Cook, covered, on low for 2 hours (or high for 1 hour).
5
Cut each turkey roll in half diagonally. Remove toothpicks. Serve turkey with cabbage, potatoes and apples. Drizzle with cooking juices and sprinkle with remaining parsley to serve.
