Ingredients:
- 850 g turkey thigh
- 150 g prosciutto crudo, thinly sliced
- 250 g frozen spinach, finely chopped
- 1 grated carrot
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 green garlic stalk, finely chopped
- 150 g grated cheese
- 5 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon sweet or hot paprika
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 glass (150 ml) dry red wine
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preparing the meat: Start by cutting the turkey thigh into a rectangle of about 25/30 cm. Use a meat mallet to gently pound the meat so that it becomes even and spreads better. This step is essential for achieving a beautiful and easy-to-roll roll.

2. Preparing the filling: In a pan, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil and add the chopped onion, grated carrot, and green bell pepper. Sauté the vegetables for 5-7 minutes until they become soft. Add the frozen spinach and chopped garlic, mixing until the spinach is completely thawed.

3. Seasoning: In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated cheese, thyme, paprika, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to taste. Add the sautéed vegetable mixture and mix well until homogeneous.

4. Assembling the roll: Place prosciutto crudo on the surface of the turkey meat, followed by the vegetable filling. Spread the mixture evenly, leaving a few centimeters free at the edges to roll.

5. Rolling: Using a kitchen towel or your hands, carefully roll the meat starting from one edge. Make sure the filling stays inside. Tie the roll with kitchen twine or secure it with toothpicks to maintain its shape during baking.

6. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the roll in a heat-resistant dish and pour the red wine around it. Cover with aluminum foil for the first 30 minutes of baking, then remove the foil and let it brown for another 15 minutes.

7. Serving: Once the roll is ready, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve it warm alongside a fresh salad and a side of mashed potatoes or grilled vegetables.

Personal suggestion: You can experiment with various fillings, adding mushrooms, feta cheese, or even nuts for extra texture. This meat and vegetable roll recipe is not only delicious but also an excellent way to integrate vegetables into your diet.
