Arrange the pancetta rashers on a large sheet of nonstick baking paper in 2 rows of 9, overlapping slightly to make a large rectangle shape.  Place the turkey in the centre and, using the paper, wrap the pancetta around it. Secure at 2cm intervals with kitchen string. Place in a roasting tin and cover with foil.
