2. When the bread has soaked in the milk, use a fork to mash it to a puree-like consistency. Add the ground turkey, eggs, ricotta, grated Mozzarella cheese, grated onion, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the bread. Mix all the ingredients by hand until you get a uniform consistency.

4. Bake the roulade in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 45 minutes, until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the roulade registers a temperature of 77°C. Remove the roulade from the oven, place it on a cutting board, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing into pieces.
