A question about a recipe: Tuscan Turkey Roulade

As a guideline - I've made a 3 pound turkey breast roulade which I roasted in a 400 degree oven. It needed about 40-50 min. This served 6-8 people.

AJ, I usually use a small breast, ~3-4 pounds. Because of the pork sausage, I check the temperature at about the 45 minute mark and pull it at around 155-160F to be on the safe side. Carryover heat during the resting period will bring the temp up another 5-10 degrees. I've made this a few times and it usually takes about an hour to reach a safe temperature. It will really depend on how big your breast is and as always, check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer.

Thanks so much, HalfPint! Really looking forward to making this. Have begun building the rest of my T-Day menu around it, already. ;o)

Antonia... that question is moot if you use a temperature probe. If you don't have one, I recommend them... I resisted getting one for years and wish I had listened better. It removes all doubt about doneness.

Thanks, ChefJune. I do have a probe and use it frequently (it's built into my Dacor range); I asked the question for the purpose of planning my oven schedule that day, trying to get a ballpark estimate of cooking time as I juggle side dishes and desserts in and out of my single, not very large, oven. ;o)
