Part 6/10:
For a lighter, more manageable centerpiece, a rolled turkey breast can be prepared with a compound herb butter—zest, parsley, and sage—hidden beneath the skin. The breast is butterflied, flattened, and filled with a savory sausage and dried cherry stuffing before being tightly rolled, sewn or tied with kitchen twine, and wrapped in cheesecloth. Roasted at high heat, this “balotin” results in a juicy, well-seasoned, and visually striking dish, perfect for those who prefer smaller portions without sacrificing presentation.
