Steps:
- Rinse turkey, and pat dry with paper towels. Place it on a flat surface, skin side up. Using a chopstick or the handle of a wooden spoon, gently separate turkey skin from breast meat, being careful not to tear the skin. Remove skin, and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Flip turkey over, and lay flat. If turkey is not an even thickness, cover with plastic wrap, and gently pound with a mallet or a rolling pin. Season with salt and pepper. Spread stuffing evenly on turkey. Starting on 1 short side, tightly roll up turkey.
- Center reserved skin on turkey roll, and smooth to remove any trapped air. Season with salt and pepper. Wrap entire turkey roll in cheesecloth, securing both ends with kitchen string. Tie additional string around roll in 3 or 4 places, spacing evenly. Rub with 4 tablespoons butter.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack in lowest position. Place turkey roll on a rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to oven, and pour water in baking sheet. Roast, rotating halfway through and brushing with remaining 2 tablespoons butter, until stuffing registers 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 2 hours and 10 minutes. (Add more water to baking sheet if necessary to prevent pan drippings from burning.) Let turkey roll rest on baking sheet for 30 minutes.
- To carve the turkey roll: Remove cheesecloth, and transfer turkey roll to a cutting board. Carefully cut roll into slices at least 1/2 inch thick, keeping stuffing intact. Transfer slices to a serving platter, and serve immediately with chutney on the side.
Tips:
- Use a combination of ground pork and ground turkey to make the stuffing lighter and healthier.
- Add chopped vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions to the stuffing for extra flavor and texture.
- Use fresh herbs such as sage, rosemary, and thyme to give the stuffing a more robust flavor.
- Don't overmix the stuffing, as this will make it tough.
- Stuff the turkey loosely so that the stuffing has room to expand during cooking.
- Bake the stuffing at a high temperature (375 degrees Fahrenheit) for the first 30 minutes to create a crispy outer layer.
- Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and continue baking for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until the stuffing reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the stuffing rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
