Filled with a richly flavoured stuffing, then wrapped in rosy Italian pancetta slices and roasted, this turkey breast tastes just as good as it looks. This dish is impressive—and easy—enough for any celebration or gathering. The delicate flavour of leek and shallot provide a wonderful complement to the fresh garlic, rosemary, and parsley in the stuffing. If you do not have a rolling pin, you can also pound out the turkey with a heavy skillet (like cast iron) or a meat mallet. Pair this entrée with a simple salad in a light vinaigrette and a crusty French baguette.
