Turkey rolls are an exquisite dish of American cuisine that combines tender turkey meat with the refreshing taste of apples. The history of such rolls traces back to the traditions of baked meat dishes where fruit fillings add juiciness and a slight tang. Turkey, with its mild flavor, pairs wonderfully with sweet apple puree infused with hints of dill and basil. This recipe is perfect for a festive dinner or a cozy family evening. Baked rolls remain juicy thanks to foil, while the creamy basil sauce adds depth of flavor. Serving with this aromatic sauce makes the dish harmonious and refined, suitable for both everyday use and special occasions.
