This turkey is a labor of love, but the juicy results are totally worth the effort. Here, we use deboned meat, which cooks through faster than a whole bird, and the finished roll is easier to slice at the table.

A cranberry glaze is brushed on the turkey while roasting, while a homemade gravy gets drizzled on after serving.
