Apricot Stuffed Turkey Breast

Contributed by Eileen Goltz.

1 3-to 4 pound bone turkey breast, with skin
1-1/2 cups soft bread crumbs (2 slices)
1/2 cup snipped dried apricots
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
2 tablespoons apple juice or water
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1 tablespoon water

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325.. Cut a horizontal slit into thickest part of turkey breast to form a 5x4-inch pocket. Set it aside.  In a medium mixing bowl, combine bread crumbs, apricots, pecans, apple juice or water, oil, rosemary, and garlic salt. Spoon stuffing mixture into pocket. Securely fasten the opening with water-soaked wooden toothpicks or tie with heavy cotton string. In another bowl stir together the mustard and water then set it aside. Place turkey, skin side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.  Roast turkey, uncovered, in preheated oven for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours brushing with mustard mixture during the last 30 minutes of roasting. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.
