                INSTRUCTIONS


                1 Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and
                place a wire rack on top. Set aside.


                2 To prepare the glaze, combine all the glaze ingredients in a small
                saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to

                medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and set

                aside.

                3 To prepare the roulades, carefully separate the skin from the turkey

                meat (try to avoid making any holes or tears) and set it aside. If meat
                is not uniformly thick, cut it width-wise through the thick portion,

                stopping about 1 inch from the end, and unfold.


                4 Place the first breast between two sheets of plastic wrap, with the
                skinned side of the breast on the bottom, and pound with a meat

                mallet until it is half its original thickness. Repeat the process with
                the second turkey breast. Set aside.


                5 Add all the remaining roulade ingredients except the broth and
                butter to a large bowl to make the stuffing. Stir until thoroughly

                combined. Pour in your chicken broth and butter, stirring until well-

                coated.

                6 Remove the plastic wrap from the first turkey breast. Lay it flat on a

                cutting board (skinned-side down) and spread a layer of stuffing
                evenly across the top, leaving about ½ inch around the edge

                uncovered. Starting at a narrow end, roll the turkey breast into a

                spiral. Cut the turkey skin in half and wrap one half as tightly as
                possible over the top of the roulade without tearing it. Don’t worry if
