4. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until soft.

5. Add the cumin and coriander and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until aromatic.

6. Add the onion mixture, quince paste, pistachio and parsley to the couscous and combine. Season with salt and pepper.

7. Place the turkey, breast-side down, on a clean work surface. Open out the tenderloin so each breast lies flat.

8. Spoon the stuffing along the centre of each breast and fold over tenderloin to enclose filling.

9. Use unwaxed kitchen string to tie the turkey breasts at 2cm intervals.

10. Place the turkey breasts in a roasting pan. Spray with olive oil spray.

11. Roast for 1.5 - 2 hours, or until golden and juices run clear when a skewer is inserted into thickest part.

12. Cover with foil and set aside for 15 minutes to rest.

13. Remove string. Thinly slice the turkey across the grain to serve.

Annabelle's tips
