Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). 2. Combine whisky, maple syrup, orange rind and butter in a bowl to make glaze. Reserve. 3. With a sharp knife and your hand flat on the top of the breast cut through the thickest part of the turkey breast horizontally, stopping about 1-inch (2.5 cm) from the edge. You should then be able to open it up like a book. Repeat with remaining 3 turkey breasts. Brush glaze all over exposed turkey breast and season with salt and pepper. 4. Divide Sausage Stuffing (recipe follows) between 2 turkey breasts, fold meat over to enclose stuffing and sew or skewer the edges together. Tie in 3 places to secure. Set aside. Divide Fruit Stuffing (recipe follows) between remaining 2 turkey breasts and repeat. Brush turkey breasts with whiskey glaze and season all over with salt and pepper. 5. Place turkey breasts on a bed of onions, carrots and celery in several roasting pans or baking sheets and roast for 10 minutes or until skin is beginning to colour. Turn oven to 350°F (180°C) and roast another 45 to 50 minutes or until juices run clear. Remove from oven and let sit for 15 minutes while making sauce. 6. Discard vegetables and add stock and soy sauce to pans. (Divide quantity if you are using 2 pans.) Place pan over high heat and bring to boil, scraping up any little brown bits on the base of the pan. Boil for 2 minutes, add redcurrant jelly and boil another 5 to 10 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly.
