Turkey Roulade with Maple Glaze

Ingredients

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/Gas Mark 6).
2. Melt 100g of the butter in a sauté pan over a medium heat, then add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes, until softened. Remove the pan from the heat and mix in the sausage meat, breadcrumbs, dried cranberries, pine nuts and herbs in a bowl and season well.
3. Put the turkey breast skin-side down on a chopping board, then butterfly it by cutting partway into the thickest side.
4. Open the turkey breast out and cover with parchment paper, then use a rolling pin to gently bash it out to an even 2cm thickness. Remove the parchment and season, then spread over the prepared sausage meat stuffing roughly 1 cm thick and leaving a border around the edges.
5. Starting from one of the short sides, roll the turkey breast into a tight log shape, then tie at even intervals with kitchen string.
6. Melt the remaining 20g of the butter in a small pan with the maple syrup, and use this to glaze the joint, reserving any that is left over. This will keep in the fridge for 2 days, or it can be frozen and defrosted.
7. Line a roasting tin with parchment paper and place the roughly chopped carrots and red onion wedges on the base
8. Place the turkey roulade on the vegetables and pour 100ml water in the bottom.
9. Cover with tin foil and place in the oven for 45 minutes
10. After 45 minutes, remove the tin foil, and reduce the oven to 180°C (350°F/gas mark 4)
11. Baste the turkey with the juices from the base of the roasting tray
12. Return the uncovered turkey roulade to the oven and roast for a further 40-45 minutes
13. A thermometer should read 70°C. Transfer the roulade to a platter, cover loosely with foil and leave to rest for 15 minutes (the turkey will continue to cook when resting)
14. Carve the turkey into slices and arrange on plates.
