Stuffed turkey is a refined dish of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of the bird with a flavorful filling. This recipe embodies the traditions of home cooking, where the simplicity of ingredients transforms into a culinary masterpiece. Thin turkey steaks are infused with spices, and the filling of onion and 'Oltermanni' cheese gives them a rich taste. Baked rolls become golden and crispy thanks to garlic and final blowing in the oven. The dish turns out juicy with a rich, creamy-piquant aroma. It is perfect for a festive dinner, and its versatility allows pairing turkey with various side dishes. The avocado salad served with the rolls refreshes the taste and harmoniously complements the meat. Such a dish will not only delight guests but also become the centerpiece of the table, revealing the full palette of flavors of European cuisine.

Cooking steps

1. Cut the turkey fillet into steaks no more than 2 cm wide. Then, season the steaks with salt and pepper on both sides and gently pound them. To avoid making a mess in the kitchen, place the turkey on a cutting board and cover it with plastic wrap or parchment paper.

   Required ingredients:

   • Turkey fillet: 800 g
   • Coarse salt:  to taste
   • Ground black pepper:  to taste

2. Filling: finely chop a small onion, grate cheese on a coarse grater, and mix everything together.

   Required ingredients:

   • Onion: 1 head
   • Oltermani cheese: 200 g

3. Spread the filling along the edge of the turkey about 1.5–2 cm thick and roll it into a roulade. The roulade should be secured with toothpicks or wooden skewers on top and sides to prevent it from falling apart and leaking filling.

4. We crush the garlic using a garlic press or grate it on a fine grater. We rub the rolls with garlic and send them to the oven, preheated to 200 degrees, for 30 minutes. Then we turn on the top ventilation for 7 minutes to give a golden crust.
