Turkey rolls in sauce
Description
You won't need a large amount of meat for this dish—just 350–400 grams of turkey fillet is enough. If desired, you can make more rolls for a festive table and freeze them at the preparation stage with the filling already inside.

Step 3
Pound each turkey piece with a meat mallet. Rinse parsley and chop finely. Season the meat with salt and ground black pepper, then place a bit of the chopped herbs on one edge of each piece. In principle, the filling for the rolls can be anything: cottage cheese, cheese, mushrooms, etc.

Step 5
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet. Place the rolls seam-side down so the seam sears immediately and the rolls don't come apart. If you're unsure, secure them with toothpicks, remembering to remove the toothpicks after frying.
