Instructions
Prep the Turkey: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Butterfly the turkey breast and flatten it to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
Make the Stuffing: In a bowl, mix dried cranberries, breadcrumbs, chopped pecans, minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
Stuff and Roll: Spread the stuffing over the turkey breast. Roll the turkey tightly and tie with kitchen twine to secure.
Brown the Roulade: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Brown the turkey roulade on all sides. Transfer to a roasting pan.
Make the Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine chicken broth, orange juice, cranberry sauce, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened.
Bake: Brush the turkey roulade with the cranberry glaze. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60-75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste occasionally with the glaze.
Rest and Serve: Let the turkey roulade rest for 10 minutes. Remove the twine, slice, and serve.
