1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1/4 cup fresh rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons shallots, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon pink peppercorns, crushed
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 leg-thigh portions from 1 (12-14 pound) free-range turkey; boned and butterflied with bones reserved
Bones from leg-thigh turkey portions
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 onion, coarsely chopped
1 carrot, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 celery stalk, coarsely chopped
1 head garlic, halved crosswise
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups dry white wine
5 fresh thyme sprigs
5 fresh rosemary, sprigs
1 bay leaf
4 quarts organic turkey or chicken broth

1
Preheat the oven to 375F.
2
Place a rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
3
In a small bowl, stir together the parsley, rosemary, thyme, shallots, garlic, peppercorns, and olive oil.
4
Set aside.
5
Arrange two 18-inch squares of aluminum foil on a work surface, over lapping them slightly.
6
Open the butterflied leg-thigh portions flat and lay them, skin side down and long sides overlapping slightly, on the foil.
7
Season the meat generously with salt and pepper and then brush with the herbolive oil mixture.
8
Working from the long edge closest to you, roll up the turkey to form a log about 4 inches in diameter and 10 inches long.
9
Wrap the foil around the turkey and twist the ends of the foil to secure into a tight bundle.
10
Place the bundle on the rack on the baking sheet.
11
Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted (directly through the foil) into the middle of the roulade registers 145F, about 1 hour.
12
Remove the roulade from the oven and let cool in the foil for 40 minutes, then refrigerate overnight.
