Roast Turkey Breast with Spinach-Blue Cheese (or Feta) Stuffing

Nuff said:
(makes 12-14 servings)

1 frozen whole boneless turkey breast, thawed (3&1/2 to 4 lbs.)
Non-stick cooking spray
1 package (12 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2 oz. crumbled Blue Cheese, or Feta
2 oz. cream cheese with chives*
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
4&1/2 t. Dijon mustard
4&1/2 t. dried basil
2 t. dried oregano
Freshly ground* black pepper to taste
Smoked paprika*

Preheat oven to 350. Coat roasting pan and rack cooking spray. Unroll turkey breast; rinse and pay dry. Place between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Pound turkey breast with flat side of meat mallet to about 1" thick. Remove and discard skin from one half of turkey breast; turn meat over so skin side (on other half) faces down. Combine the spinach, BC or Feta, cream cheese, green onion, mustard, basil, and oregano in a medium bowl; mix well. Spread evenly over turkey breast. Roll up turkey so skin is on top. Carefully place turkey breast on rack; sprinkle with pepper and paprika. Roast 1&1/2 hours or until no longer pink in center of breast. Remove from oven and let stand 10 mins. before removing skin and slicing into 1/4" pieces. I would serve this with pirogis sauteed in butter and sweet white onions, and topped with sour cream. Wow!!
