3 tablespoons butter
2 shallots, finely chopped

Cover one turkey half with plastic wrap; flatten to 1/2-in. thickness. Remove plastic; place half of pancetta and sage over turkey. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; tie with kitchen string. Repeat with the remaining turkey, pancetta and sage. Combine the flour, salt and pepper; sprinkle over each turkey.

In a large skillet, brown turkey in butter on all sides. Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325u00b0 for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours or until a thermometer reads 170u00b0. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing.

Meanwhile, in the same skillet, saute shallots and garlic, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Add wine; bring to a boil. Cook until liquid is reduced by half. Stir in the cream, rosemary, sage, salt and pepper; cook for 3-4 minutes or until thickened. Serve with turkey.
