Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Turkey: Begin by laying the turkey breast on a cutting board, and using a sharp knife, make a butterfly cut down the center to increase the surface area for rolling. Carefully open the breast out flat, creating a uniform thickness.
  2. Season: Generously sprinkle sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper all over the flattened turkey breast, massaging the seasoning into the meat.
  3. Fill: Spread a layer of cranberry sauce evenly over the seasoned turkey, leaving a small border around the edges. Next, place thin slices of creamy Camembert cheese over the cranberry layer.
  4. Roll: Starting from one end, carefully roll the turkey breast away from you, encasing the filling tightly. Secure the turkey roulade with lengths of kitchen twine.
  5. Sear: In a large skillet, heat rapeseed oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear the turkey roulade on all sides until golden brown.
  6. Bake: Transfer the seared turkey roulade to a baking dish, pour broth around it, preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F), and bake for approximately 1.5 hours.
  7. Serve: Once baked, let the turkey roulade rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Arrange the rounds on a platter.
