Arrange 12 of the bacon slices, overlapping slightly, on the paper. Place half the stuffing along one edge of the bacon and shape into a log. Using the foil and paper to help you, roll the bacon to enclose the stuffing, wrapping to secure. Repeat with the remaining foil, baking paper, bacon and stuffing. Place the rolls on a baking tray and roast for 20 minutes.

CHESTNUT STUFFING ROLL

Steps:

• To make the stuffing, melt the butter in a large non-stick pan, add the onions and gently cook for 10-15 mins until very soft. Stir in the sage for 1 min, then tip into a large mixing bowl. Pulse the chestnuts in a food processor until chopped into small bits, then tip these into the bowl with the onions and repeat with the hazelnuts. Add the breadcrumbs, mace, beaten egg, 1 tsp salt and some pepper, and mix everything together well.
• Tear off a very large sheet of foil. Smear the butter in the middle, making a rectangle about 30 x 40cm. Lay the bacon rashers over in a row, overlapping a little. Use a rolling pin to slowly but firmly roll down the length of the bacon strips to stretch them a bit. Shape the stuffing into a log along the rashers. Using the foil to help you, roll up the stuffing so that it is completely wrapped in the bacon. Overwrap with the extra foil and twist the ends to tighten and seal. If it's not very round, give it an extra roll or two on your work surface. Chill until ready to roast. Can be made up to 2 days ahead and kept in the fridge.
• To cook, bake at 200C/180C fan/gas 6 (when you turn up the heat for the turkey) for 30 mins. When the turkey comes out, turn up the heat to 220C/200C fan/gas 7, unwrap the stuffing and continue to cook for 30 mins more until crisp. Keep warm, then slice and serve with sage leaves fried in butter, if you like.

Add salt and nutmeg to taste.
• Mix the eggs into the stuffing mix until well-blended. Add any remaining reserved liquid from the squash to keep moist. Spread on a standard size cookie sheet lined with parchment to about 1/2" thick. Bake at 350F until the egg is set but it is still flexible. Let cool for a bit.
• Spread stuffing sheet with squash and chestnut mixture. very lightly dust with cinnamon. Starting on a short side, start gently loosely rolling up the sheet. Be careful to not pinch too hard as the squash will sqeeze in the direction you are rolling. Use the parchment as an aid to keep the roll straight. As the roll is completed, it should end up on the seam. Leave it on the same pan, but try to get a little non-stick spray underneath on the pan.
• Return the roll to the 350F oven and bake until the internal temp reaches 160°F Cool a little then slice on a bias.
• Serve placed over sliced turkey or pork and ladle with gravy. Realize chestnut is that flavor you've been trying to place with no luck for the last 27 years.
