Turkey Roulade with Cider SauceRoland Bello

Even if you love dark meat, you won't be disappointed with this easy alternative to serving a whole turkey. Roasting the turkey breast at high heat for a short time locks in tons of meaty juice, and the filling combines stuffing and cranberry sauce in one dish. Pan juices, whisked together with apple cider, top it all off.

Cooks' notes:

•For the chicken livers, you can substitute 1 cup bottled peeled cooked chestnuts, rinsed, drained, and chopped.
•Stuffing can be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then chilled, covered.
•Turkey breast can be butterflied 1 day ahead and chilled, wrapped in plastic wrap, on a tray.
