Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Combine butter, orange zest, parsley and sage in a medium bowl. Stir to combine; season with salt and pepper.
- Evenly distribute half of butter mixture under skin of turkey breast. Flip turkey breast and rub remaining butter evenly on inside of breast; season with salt and pepper. Starting with one short side, roll turkey breast into a log shape, tucking ends under to ensure even cooking. Using kitchen twine, tie breast at 1-inch intervals. Season generously with salt and pepper; set aside.
- Arrange onion slices in bottom of 12-inch ovenproof sauté pan and scatter carrots around perimeter of pan. Add 1 cup chicken stock to pan and place turkey breast, seam-side down, on top of onions. Transfer saute pan to oven and cook, basting turkey and vegetables every 15 minutes with pan juices, until turkey reaches an internal temperature of 150 degrees and juices run clear, about 1 hour 30 minutes. After an hour, tent turkey with foil to avoid overbrowning. Transfer turkey breast from pan to cutting board and cover loosely with foil. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing.
- Meanwhile, remove and discard vegetables from saute pan. Transfer pan juices to a fat separator; discard fat. Place pan over medium-high heat and add orange juice, scraping up any brown bits from bottom of pan. Return defatted pan drippings to pan and stir to combine. In small jar with tight-fitting lid, combine remaining 1 1/4 cups chicken stock with flour and shake to combine. Slowly add chicken stock mixture to pan, whisking to incorporate. Continue to cook until thickened, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Slice turkey breast and serve with gravy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare stuffing mix according to package directions. Set aside to cool.
- With a sharp knife, butterfly breasts open to lay flat. Place each breast between two sheets of waxed paper, and flatten with a mallet. Spread the prepared stuffing to within 1/4 inch of the edge of each breast. Sprinkle each one with chopped pecans and dried cranberries, reserving some of the cranberries for garnish. Roll up tightly in a jellyroll style, starting with the long end. Tuck in ends, and tie in sections with string, about 4 sections around the middle and one running the length of the roll to secure the ends.
- Heat olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully brown rolls on all sides.
- Place skillet in oven, uncovered. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature is at 170 degrees F (78 degrees C) when taken with a meat thermometer. Do not let these get overly dry.
- Allow rolls to set for 15 minutes before removing string, and slicing into 1/2 to 3/4 inch circles. Leave one roll whole, and slice the other for presentation. Stuffing will be spiraled into meat. Present on your prettiest platter on a bed of curly lettuce, and garnish by sprinkling with the remaining 1/2 cup pecan halves and the reserved dried cranberries.

STUFFED TURKEY BREAST WITH BUTTERNUT SQUASH, KALE, AND SAUSAGE
For maximum juiciness and flavor, pound and season the turkey breasts 24 hours in advance. Swaddling the breasts in butter-rubbed cheesecloth and cooking them in a roasting pan with broth yields a tender, succulent result. This turkey roulade recipe is perfect for a crowd, but is easily halved to feed a smaller crew. Serve a rich gravy alongside.

Steps:
- Working one at a time, place turkey breast, skin side down, on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife and cutting parallel to board, slice through thickest part of breast, cutting along length of breast without cutting all the way through, then open breast like a book. Place breast in between 2 large pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to a uniform thickness of 1/2". Season inside of breast with 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. pepper, and 1/2 tsp. ground fennel. Transfer skin side up to a rimmed baking sheet; season with 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. pepper, and 1/2 tsp. ground fennel. Repeat with remaining breast. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour, or chill up to 24 hours for maximum flavor and juiciness (if chilled, let sit at room temperature 1 hour before roasting).
- Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 450°F. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausage, stirring and breaking up into small pieces with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to a large bowl, leaving drippings behind.
- Meanwhile, place croutons on a rimmed baking sheet. Crush slightly with the bottom of a small pot or pan until some pieces are smaller.
- Return skillet to medium-high heat and melt 2 Tbsp. butter. Add onion, squash, chopped fennel, garlic, thyme, and remaining 1 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 6-8 minutes. Stir in kale, 2 Tbsp. butter, and 1 cup broth and cook, scraping up brown bits on bottom of pan, until kale is wilted and butter is melted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to bowl with sausage. Fold in croutons and parsley; if mixture seems dry, add 1/4 cup broth.
- Flip breasts so they are skin side down. Divide stuffing between breasts, spreading with a spatula and leaving a 1" border. Starting at 1 short end, roll each breast into a log, completely enclosing stuffing, then transfer each to separate, large pieces of cheesecloth. Wrap cheesecloth around turkey and secure by tying a piece of twine at each end (like a sausage). Tie 4-5 pieces of twine crosswise around log, spacing about 2-2 1/2" apart. Rub remaining 4 Tbsp. butter all over breasts and transfer skin side up to roasting pan.
- Pour enough broth (about 4 cups) to come 1/4" up sides of turkey. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F and roast turkey, basting with pan juices every 20 minutes and adding more broth if pan starts to dry out, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 155°F, 60-70 minutes.
- Transfer to a cutting board and let sit 15-20 minutes (internal temperature should rise to 165°F). Remove twine and slice crosswise about 1/2" thick to serve.
- Do Ahead
- Turkey can be seasoned 2 days ahead and stuffed, rolled in cheesecloth, and buttered 1 day ahead; loosely cover and chill. Let sit at room temperature 1 hour before roasting.

Steps:
- Coat a large saute pan, over medium-high heat, with olive oil, add in half of the diced onion, season with salt, to taste. Cook the onions, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and very aromatic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Toss in the mushrooms and sage, season with salt, to taste. Cook until they are soft and wilted, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the sausage and use a large kitchen spoon to chop up the sausage. Cook until the sausage is brown and a little crispy, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer the sausage mixture to a large mixing bowl and let cool.
- While the sausage mixture is cooling, cut the turkey breast into 2 separate halves and remove skin. Butterfly each half to make a wide, flat surface. Cover each half with plastic wrap and with a meat mallet, gently pound each breast half, to flatten.
- To the mixing bowl with sausage mixture, add the bread crumbs, grated cheese, the eggs and 1/2 a cup of water. Mix together until it becomes a homogeneous mixture. Taste and season with salt if needed.
- Lay a large piece of caul fat out on a large, flat work surface. Lay about 10 bacon slices in the middle, slightly overlapping. Arrange a turkey breast on top. Lay half the stuffing mix on the turkey and roll it up, creating a neat even log. Wrap 2 pieces of bacon around each end, then fold the bacon that's underneath around the turkey. Wrap the caul fat in an even layer to create a smooth even log. Tie with twine to secure. Repeat with second turkey breast.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Put a large roasting pan on a burner, coat it with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the turkey rolls and brown on all sides. Remove the rolls from the pan and add in the remaining diced onion, carrots, celery. Season with salt, to taste, and cook the veggies until they start to soften, about 7 to 8 minutes. Add 1 cup of chicken stock and 1 cup of white wine to the roasting pan with a thyme bundle. Return the turkey rolls to the pan, cover with foil and roast for 25 minutes, remove the foil and roast for 10 more minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and transfer the turkey to a tray or platter and cover with foil to rest and keep warm.
- Put the roasting pan over 2 burners to make the gravy. Remove the thyme and skim the fat. Mix the flour with 6 tablespoons chicken stock and slowly whisk it into the roasting pan. Whisk in the remaining chicken stock and bring it the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the mixture has thickened to a gravy consistency. Taste and season with salt, if needed.
- Remove the string from the roulades and slice into medallions. Arrange the roulades on a serving platter and serve with the gravy.

Steps:
- Rinse turkey, and pat dry with paper towels. Place it on a flat surface, skin side up. Using a chopstick or the handle of a wooden spoon, gently separate turkey skin from breast meat, being careful not to tear the skin. Remove skin, and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Flip turkey over, and lay flat. If turkey is not an even thickness, cover with plastic wrap, and gently pound with a mallet or a rolling pin. Season with salt and pepper. Spread stuffing evenly on turkey. Starting on 1 short side, tightly roll up turkey.
- Center reserved skin on turkey roll, and smooth to remove any trapped air. Season with salt and pepper. Wrap entire turkey roll in cheesecloth, securing both ends with kitchen string. Tie additional string around roll in 3 or 4 places, spacing evenly. Rub with 4 tablespoons butter.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack in lowest position. Place turkey roll on a rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to oven, and pour water in baking sheet. Roast, rotating halfway through and brushing with remaining 2 tablespoons butter, until stuffing registers 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 2 hours and 10 minutes. (Add more water to baking sheet if necessary to prevent pan drippings from burning.) Let turkey roll rest on baking sheet for 30 minutes.
- To carve the turkey roll: Remove cheesecloth, and transfer turkey roll to a cutting board. Carefully cut roll into slices at least 1/2 inch thick, keeping stuffing intact. Transfer slices to a serving platter, and serve immediately with chutney on the side.
Important tips for making the Rolled turkey with sausage-pecan stuffing:
- Use a large roasting pan with a roasting or wire and keep a rimmed sheet pan ready for later tasks. - Plan to let your turkey breast thaw completely. This allows the stuffing to cook evenly. - Don't overstuff the turkey breast. It is easy to overstuff the cavity, and this makes for an uneven cook. - Cook the turkey breast to 160F, then let it rest before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute through the meat. - Combine the stuffing ingredients before stuffing the turkey, and don't pack it in too tightly. - Bake the turkey in the roasting pan in the lower third of the stove at 325 degrees F, covered with tented foil for 1½ hours. - After, uncover and continue to cook, frequently until brown and the meat thermometer read 160 degrees F, which will take another 2 hours. - While the turkey cooks, make the gravy. Sauté 1 medium-size, shredded carrot, two finely diced celery ribs, and one medium-size, shredded yellow or white cooking until the veggies are soft. -Stir in 1 cup of dry white wine, and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half. - Pour in 3 cup of turkey stock or broth, and bring to a boil. - Over low heat, bring the mixture to a simmer, then stirring frequently for about 15 minutes, or until the gravy is thick. - In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cool water until smooth. - Stir into the gravy, and simmer for 1 minute. - Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Stir in 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of minced fresh parsley.Conclusion
- Rolled turkey breast with sausage-pecan stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make dish perfect for a special occasion meal. - The combination of turkey, sausage, pecans, and stuffing is flavorful and satisfying, and the gravy adds a creamy richness to the dish. - This recipe is perfect for a special occasion meal, and it is sure to impress your guests.
