Method

  1. To make the Stuffed Roast Turkey Roll, start with the stuffing, which we recommend making the night before. Place the breadcrumbs, the grated Grana, the egg and the parsley in a large bowl.

  2. In a nonstick skillet, sauté the garlic in the butter, then remove the garlic and pour the hot butter into the bowl with the other ingredients. Add 1/2 glass of hot broth and stir to combine.
  3. Cover the stuffing with plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for a few hours, or better still overnight.
  4. Take the turkey breast, butterfly it and pound it until thin, but not too thin. Take the stuffing out of the fridge and spread it over the turkey breast until it is completely covered.

  5. Roll the turkey up on itself into a roll and tie it with kitchen twine. Pour a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil into a large nonstick skillet, place the turkey roll in the center and add both the sage and the rosemary.

  6. Cover with a lid and cook over low heat for about 45 minutes, taking care to baste the meat with Vegetable Broth and to turn the roll from time to time.
  7. Then drizzle with the white wine and keep cooking for another half hour, still turning the meat and basting it with the broth.
  8. After this time, turn off the heat and let it cool slightly. Slice it, remove the twine and serve the Stuffed Roast Turkey Roll. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
