- 6 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted

Instructions
Prepare the Turkey
- Pound the Turkey: Place the boneless turkey breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound it to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Make the Filling
- Combine the Filling Ingredients: In a bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, crumbled goat cheese, chopped parsley, toasted pine nuts, minced garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
Assemble the Roulade
- Layer the Prosciutto: Lay the prosciutto slices on the turkey breast, slightly overlapping them to cover the surface.
- Spread the Filling: Evenly spread the filling mixture over the prosciutto.
- Roll the Roulade: Starting from one end, carefully roll the turkey tightly into a log shape. Secure the ends with kitchen twine and tie the middle at intervals to hold the shape.
Cook the Roulade
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Sear the Roulade: In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roulade on all sides until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to the Oven: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast for about 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Make the Sauce
- Combine Sauce Ingredients: In a saucepan, combine the pomegranate juice, port wine, honey, and balsamic vinegar.
- Simmer the Sauce: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half, about 15-20 minutes. For a thicker sauce, whisk in the cornstarch mixture and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Serve the Dish
- Slice the Roulade: Carefully slice the roulade into thick rounds.
- Plate and Drizzle: Arrange the slices on a platter, drizzle with the pomegranate-port reduction sauce, and serve warm.
