Directions

Prep 15 minCook 55 min
  1. 1

    Warm a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Sauté the onion until golden, 2–3 minutes. Stir in the butternut squash and 2 tablespoons water; cover and cook on low until tender, about 10 minutes. Uncover and add the figs, garlic, spinach, 3/4 teaspoon salt, sage, and black pepper; cook 3–4 minutes until the spinach wilts. Transfer the mixture to a plate to cool.

  2. 2

    With a sharp knife, cut a deep pocket into the side of each turkey breast, keeping the ends intact. Lightly season the inside and outside with a pinch of the remaining salt.

  3. 3

    Spoon about 3/4 cup of the squash mixture into each breast. Tie each breast with 3–4 pieces of kitchen twine to secure.

  4. 4

    Preheat the oven to 325°F.

  5. 5

    Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add 1 teaspoon olive oil. Sear the stuffed turkey on three sides until browned, 1–2 minutes per side, avoiding the stuffed opening.

  6. 6

    If the skillet is oven-safe, cover with foil and place it in the oven; otherwise transfer the turkey to a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake until the thickest part reaches 165°F, 30–35 minutes. Rest 5 minutes, remove twine, and slice each breast into 4 pieces.
