Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Butterfly the turkey breast by slicing it horizontally into two even layers without cutting all the way through, then open it like a book.
Place plastic wrap over the turkey breast and gently pound it with a mallet to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
In a small bowl, combine chopped parsley, rosemary, thyme, minced garlic, lemon zest, and ground black pepper.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the turkey breast and spread the herb mixture evenly over the surface.
Spread baby spinach and grated carrot evenly over the turkey breast, pressing them gently into the herb mixture.
Roll the turkey breast tightly from one edge to the other, tucking in the filling as you go, and tie with kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals to secure.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the stuffed turkey roll on all sides until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes per side.
Remove the skillet from the heat and carefully pour in the unsalted chicken broth and low sodium soy sauce around the turkey roll.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 45–50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from oven, cover the turkey roll loosely with foil, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice and serve the turkey roll with pan juices drizzled over the top.
