Open the package of boneless turkey breast, which may come in netting and with a gravy packet.

Check if the turkey breast is whole or in pieces; if in pieces, prepare to adjust the stuffing method accordingly.

Remove the skin from the turkey breast if desired, as it is not needed for this recipe.

Butterfly the turkey breast by slicing it open to prepare for stuffing.

Prepare the stuffing by mixing 1/2 cup of plain bread crumbs with 1/2 cup of thawed fresh cranberries and 1 diced apple.

Add seasoning to the stuffing: 1/4 teaspoon thyme, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon fine grind sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

Mix in 2 tablespoons of olive oil to moisten the stuffing mixture.

Add parsley to the stuffing as desired, and mix well to combine all ingredients.

Stuff the turkey breast with the prepared stuffing mixture, ensuring it is packed in well.

If using a whole turkey breast, wrap it in puff pastry; if using pieces, adjust the wrapping method accordingly.
