This Best Christmas Stuffed Turkey Breast is everything a holiday table needs—golden, juicy, and bursting with a savory, creamy spinach filling. Rolled into a gorgeous pinwheel and baked to perfection, it adds festive flair to any dinner plate. It’s not just impressive to look at, but the flavor combo of herbed cheese, garlic, and smoky bacon ensures every slice is utterly irresistible.

Unlike a full bird, this stuffed breast is quicker to prepare and cooks evenly. It slices like a dream and makes plating super elegant, even for casual dinners. Whether you’re hosting a full holiday spread or planning a smaller Christmas dinner, this dish will steal the show.

What Kind of Turkey Breast Should I Use?

For the best results, use a boneless, skin-on turkey breast. Skin-on helps lock in moisture and delivers that crispy golden exterior everyone loves. If you’re buying it fresh from a butcher, ask them to butterfly it for easier rolling. If frozen, make sure to thaw completely in the fridge for 24-48 hours before using.

Ingredients for the Best Christmas Stuffed Turkey Breast

Turkey Breast (boneless, skin-on): The main star, this lean cut keeps things light while still feeling festive and filling.
Cream Cheese: Adds creamy tang and richness to the stuffing.
Frozen Spinach (thawed and squeezed): Brings in color, moisture, and nutrition. Don’t skip squeezing out excess water!
Feta Cheese: For a crumbly, salty bite that complements the creaminess.
Garlic (minced): Adds bold depth to the filling.
Bacon (cooked and chopped): Delivers smoky flavor and a little crunch inside.
Salt & Pepper: Essential for seasoning both the turkey and stuffing.
Olive Oil: Helps brown the skin and adds moisture during roasting.
Fresh Thyme: Sprinkled on top for an aromatic, seasonal finish.

How To Make the Best Christmas Stuffed Turkey Breast

Step 1: Prep the Turkey

Place the boneless turkey breast skin-side down on a cutting board. Butterfly if needed, then cover with plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet. This helps it roll evenly and cook uniformly.

Step 2: Make the Filling

In a bowl, combine cream cheese, thawed spinach, crumbled feta, minced garlic, and chopped bacon. Mix until fully blended. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 3: Stuff and Roll

Spread the filling over the inside of the turkey breast, leaving a small border. Carefully roll the turkey into a log, skin side out. Secure with kitchen twine every 2 inches.

Step 4: Roast to Golden Perfection

Preheat oven to 375°F. Place the rolled turkey in a baking dish, seam side down. Rub with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Roast uncovered for 60-75 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

How to Serve and Store Stuffed Turkey Breast

Slice the turkey into medallions using a sharp carving knife, making sure each slice shows off the beautiful spiral filling. Arrange on a serving platter with a few fresh sprigs of thyme for garnish.

Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven with a splash of broth to keep things moist. It’s also fantastic cold in sandwiches the next day.
