Steps:
- Prepare stuffing according to package directions. (Optional: add sauteed onions and celery to the stuffing.) Set aside.
- Butterfly the turkey breasts open, until they lay flat. Place each opened breast between two sheets of waxed paper or heavy plastic, then pound flat with a kitchen mallet; they should be about 1/4" thick.
- Spread half the stuffing on each breast, to within 1/4" of the edge. Reserve 1/4 c of dried cranberries, and divide the rest between the two breasts. Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the stuffing as well. Starting at one narrower end, roll the breast tightly. Tie with kitchen twine in three or four places, then one long one the length of the roll.
- Heat the oil in a skillet until it shimmers. Brown the rolls on all sides, then transfer to a roasting pan. Add the stock to the bottom of the pan, then dot the top of the rolls with the butter 1 tbsp on each.
- Roast in a preheated 350°F oven for 1 hour, or until juices run clear when nicked with the tip of a knife. Let rest, tented with foil, 15 minutes. Remove strings, then slice 1/2 to 3/4" thick.
- Meanwhile, strain the pan juices through a sieve. Melt the remaining 1 tbsp butter in a small saucepan. Add the flour and cook 1 minute until the raw cereal taste is gone. Add the pan juices and whisk constantly until thickened. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Serve sliced roulades with gravy and sprinkled with remaining dried cranberries and the pecan halves.

Tips:
- Thaw the turkey breast completely before cooking. This will ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Use a sharp knife to remove the skin from the turkey breast. This will help the stuffing adhere to the meat.
- Make sure the stuffing is moist. If it's too dry, it will be difficult to spoon into the turkey breast and it won't taste as good.
- Stuff the turkey breast just before cooking. This will prevent the stuffing from drying out.
- Roast the turkey breast at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help the skin to crisp up and the meat to stay moist.
- Let the turkey breast rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Serve the turkey breast with your favorite sides. Some popular choices include mashed potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce.
