For the turkey breast:
- 1/2 turkey breast (approximately 500 g)
- 3-4 organs (liver, gizzard, heart)
- 3 slices of bread
- 100 g mushrooms (preferably champignon)
- 4 eggs
- 1 medium onion
- 3-4 cloves of garlic
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- 1 bunch of dill
- 1 bunch of parsley
- 150 ml white wine
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon roasted red pepper paste

For the rainbow rice:
- 150 g rice
- 1/2 red bell pepper

- Corn kernels (preferably from Sun Food)
- Green peas (preferably from Sun Food)
- Red cabbage
- Cherry tomatoes for decoration

Step by Step: Preparing the Stuffed Turkey Breast

1. Boil the eggs: Place 4 eggs in a pot with water and add a teaspoon of salt. Boil them for about 10 minutes to get hard-boiled eggs. Once cooked, let them cool, then peel and chop them finely.

2. Prepare the vegetables: Peel the onion and slice it julienne. In a skillet, add a little oil and sauté the onion until it becomes translucent. Add the diced organs, except for the liver, and let them sauté with the onion. Season with salt, pepper, and add the roasted red pepper paste for extra flavor. Add a little water and let them simmer until tender.

3. Add the liver: When the organs are nearly done, add the liver and let it sauté with the other ingredients. Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and let it cool slightly.

4. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, soak the slices of bread in a little milk and drain well. Add the bread to the skillet with the sautéed organs, along with the finely chopped mushrooms, chopped boiled eggs, diced red bell pepper, and chopped herbs. Mix well until combined. Add a raw egg and adjust the seasoning to taste.

5. Stuff the turkey breast: Using a knife, create a pocket in the turkey breast and fill it with the prepared mixture. If desired, you can also stuff the turkey neck skin. Sew the opening well to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.

6. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the stuffed turkey breast in a ceramic dish, brush it with a mixture of smoked paprika and two tablespoons of oil. Add the wine to the dish and cover everything with aluminum foil. Bake for about 1 hour, basting the roast with the pan juices occasionally to keep it moist.

Preparing the Rainbow Rice

1. Cook the rice and vegetables: Use a multicooker or a regular pot to cook the rice, peas, and steamed carrots. You can sauté the red cabbage in a skillet with a little oil and salt.

2. Assemble the rice: In a glass or stainless steel mold, alternate layers of cooked rice, peas, rice, carrots, rice, red bell pepper, and more rice. Be sure to create a contrast of colors for a visually appealing effect.

Serving

Once the turkey breast is ready, let it rest for 10 minutes, then slice it with a sharp knife. Serve each portion with a slice of stuffed turkey breast, alongside a serving of rainbow rice and sautéed red cabbage. You can garnish the plate with a few cherry tomatoes for a fresh and appetizing look.

Chef's Tip

If you prefer a vegetarian version of this dish, you can replace the organs with vegetables like zucchini, eggplant, or even tofu, and the filling will be just as delicious. Another trick is to add spices like cumin or coriander for an extra flavor boost.
