Turkey Rolls in Sauce

Turkey rolls in sauce are a delicious and flavorful dish. Now I will give you an Italian version of this dish.

Ingredients

• 4 slices of turkey breast
• 4 slices of cured ham
• 8 sage leaves
• 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• 1 glass of white wine
• 400 ml of tomato puree
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• Kitchen twine for tying the rolls

Preparation

1. Flatten the turkey slices lightly with a meat mallet to even out their thickness.
2. Place a slice of cured ham and two sage leaves on the surface of each turkey slice. If you wish, you could also add some grated or sliced cheese for an extra touch of flavor.
3. Roll the turkey slices on themselves to form the rolls and tie each one with kitchen twine to maintain the shape during cooking.
4. In a large pan, heat the olive oil and brown the rolls on all sides until they are well golden.
5. Deglaze with white wine and let the alcohol evaporate.
6. Add the tomato puree, salt, and pepper, and cover the pan. Cook over low heat for about 30 minutes. If necessary, add a little water to prevent the sauce from drying out too much.
7. Once cooked, remove the twine from the rolls and, if necessary, adjust the salt and pepper of the sauce.

Serve the rolls warm with some sauce poured over them.

Curiosity

Rolls are a very versatile dish format in Italy; they can be made with different types of meat and can be stuffed in an infinite number of ways. Traditionally in Southern Italy, they are also prepared with the addition of pine nuts and raisins inside the rolls, for a truly unique sweet and savory contrast.
