Preparation steps

Place the olives, capers, sardines, garlic and parsley into a blender and mix together quickly. The ingredients should be finely chopped but not puréed. Add the lemon and the oil. Mix together and transfer to a jar with a screw-top lid.

Preheat the oven to 160°C (140° fan) | 325F | gas 3.

Cut a pocket in the side of each turkey breast and mix together the olives, lemon juice and the oil. Season well with ground black pepper.

Season the meat with salt and ground black pepper and fill the pockets with the olive mixture. Sew shut with kitchen twine, season with salt and ground black pepper and fry in hot oil in a roasting tin on all sides until golden brown.

Add the thyme and a little water. Place in the oven and roast for around 50-60 mins. Bast and turn as required. Slice and serve immediately with the tapenade.
