Yield: Makes 14 servings

Ingredients: 1
frozen whole boneless turkey breast, thawed (3-1/2 to 4 pounds)

1
package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

2
ounces blue cheese or feta cheese

2
ounces reduced-fat cream cheese

1/2
cup finely chopped green onions

1-1/2
tablespoons Dijon mustard

1-1/2
tablespoons dried basil

2
teaspoons dried oregano

Black pepper and paprika

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat roasting pan and rack with nonstick cooking spray.

Unroll turkey breast; rinse and pat dry. Place turkey between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper. Pound turkey to 1-inch thickness using flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin. Remove and discard skin from one half of turkey breast; turn meat over so skin side (on other half) faces down.

Combine spinach, blue cheese, cream cheese, green onions, mustard, basil and oregano in medium bowl; mix well. Spread evenly over turkey breast. Roll up turkey so skin is on top. Tie closed with kitchen string.

Carefully place turkey breast on rack; sprinkle with pepper and paprika. Roast 1-1/2 hours or until no longer pink in center of breast. Remove from oven; let stand 10 minutes before removing skin and slicing into 14 (1/4-inch-thick) slices.
