Instructions: Finely chop white part of onions. Place green parts side by side on 15- by 10- by 1-inch heavy rimmed baking sheet to form mat. Mix chopped onions, sausage, raisins, 1 1/2 teaspoons fennel, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in medium bowl.

Place turkey on work surface, skin-side down. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon sausage mixture in row between breast halves. Starting at 1 long side, roll up turkey breast to enclose filling. Tie with kitchen string at 1-inch intervals to hold shape. Place turkey atop onion mat. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush oil all over turkey. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and 2 teaspoons fennel. Roast until thermometer inserted into filling registers 155 degrees, basting turkey every 15 minutes with 1/4 cup broth and adding more broth to pan if drippings burn, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Transfer to platter; let stand 5 minutes.

Set baking sheet with onions atop 2 burners. Add 1 cup broth to baking sheet. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, scraping up browned bits. Boil 2 minutes. Strain pan juices into medium bowl; discard solids. Serve turkey with pan juices.

This recipe yields 6 servings.

Comments: No carving required: Have the butcher bone the turkey breast, leaving the breast halves attached; then just slice at the table before serving. In addition to the sweet potatoes and cranberries, serve buttered green beans and bread alongside the turkey. Pour Chardonnay or Zinfandel, and finish off with the classic pumpkin pie.
