Turkey Breast Crusted With Hazelnuts And Lemon

As light but elegant entree, this hazelnut and lemon crusted turkey breast would be ideal. I got it from turkey farmers of ontario.

Steps

Preheat oven to 180 c.
Spread hazelnuts on a baking sheet and toast in oven for 5 to 10 minutes.
When they are lightly toasted , remove from oven and roll hazelnuts between a few sheets of paper towel or in a dry tea towel to remove most of the skins.
Sort nuts from skins , discard skins and set nuts aside.
Zest and juice 1 lemon.
Place zest , juice , hazelnuts and remaining ingredients , except remaining lemon , into a food processor and pulse until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Thinly slice second lemon and layer into bottom of a lightly oiled shallow baking dish.
Place turkey breast on top of lemon slices and evenly press nut crust over top of entire breast.
Bake in oven for 1 hour or until a meat thermometer registers 74 c.
If crust starts to brown , cover lightly with a piece of foil or parchment paper.
Let rest for 5 minutes after removing from oven , slice against grain and serve.
