Creating a Ballotine-Style Whole Roast Turkey involves a few essential steps. Follow this guide for a successful roast:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Turkey: Carefully debone the turkey, removing the bones while keeping the skin whole. This is the core of the ballotine style.
3. Make the Stuffing:
– In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the onions, celery, and mushrooms. Sauté until softened.
– In a bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with bread crumbs, sausage, parsley, thyme, salt, pepper, and chicken broth. Mix well.
4. Stuff the Turkey: Lay the deboned turkey skin-side down and evenly distribute the stuffing over the meat. Make sure to leave some room for expansion.
5. Roll the Turkey: Carefully roll the turkey up tightly, with the stuffing secured inside.
6. Tie the Turkey: Use cooking twine to secure the roll. Tie it at intervals to maintain its shape during cooking.
7. Season: Rub the outside of the turkey with softened butter, garlic, and paprika. Season it with salt and pepper as well.
8. Place in Roasting Pan: Transfer your turkey to a roasting pan, seam side down. Drizzle with olive oil.
9. Roast the Turkey: Place in the preheated oven and roast for about 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
10. Baste Occasionally: Baste the turkey every 30 minutes with the pan juices for added moisture.
11. Check for Doneness: Ensure the meat is thoroughly cooked and juicy. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
12. Rest: Once cooked, remove the turkey from the oven and allow it to rest for at least 20-30 minutes before slicing.

These steps will lead you to a delectable Ballotine-Style Whole Roast Turkey that will captivate your guests.
