Recipe history:
Stuffed meat rolls with various ingredients have been prepared throughout history in many cultures. They are an excellent way to use less tender meat, transforming it into a savory dish filled with rich flavors. Over time, rolls have adapted to various local ingredients, making them easy to customize.

Step by step:

1. Preparing the meat:
Start by cleaning the turkey breast of any membranes and fat. With a sharp knife, cut the turkey breast starting from the center and open it like a book. Be careful not to cut it completely.

2. Tenderizing the meat:
Drizzle a bit of olive oil over the turkey breast and cover it with a piece of parchment paper. Use a kitchen hammer to pound the meat until it is uniform, being careful not to tear it, as it is very tender.

3. Preparing the filling:
Remove the skins from the sausages and slice them open. Carefully unfold them. Now, sprinkle salt and pepper over the entire surface of the meat. Place the cheese slices over the meat, followed by the sausages. Use the palm of your hand to gently press the sausages so they adhere.

4. Rolling the meat:
Roll the meat as tightly as possible, then tie the roll with kitchen twine, ensuring it is well secured. You can also grab a few sliced garlic cloves and add them around the roll to intensify the flavors.

5. Preparing the vegetables:
In a baking dish, add the sliced carrot, quartered onion, and large pieces of celery. Drizzle with olive oil and mix everything well.

6. Baking:
Place the turkey roll over the vegetables, pour in the cognac and white wine. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it in a preheated oven at 200°C. Bake for 30 minutes.

7. Finalizing the dish:
After 30 minutes, remove the aluminum foil and let the roll bake for another 30 minutes to brown nicely. Finally, take the roll out of the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.

8. Preparing the sauce:
While the roll cools, use a blender to turn the vegetables in the dish, along with the juices left from the meat, into a creamy sauce. Add a little water if necessary and bring everything to a boil. Add the heavy cream and mix well.

9. Serving:
Place the slices of roll on a plate, and pour the vegetable sauce over the top. It is delicious served with baked potatoes or any other preferred side dish.

Useful tips:
- You can experiment with different types of sausages, such as homemade or herb sausages, to add a unique touch to the dish.
- If you want a more flavorful sauce, you can also add a bit of grated Parmesan cheese to the vegetable sauce.
- The roll can also be made with chicken or pork, depending on your preferences.
- Make sure to use a sharp knife to get even slices.

- How long can the turkey roll be kept in the fridge? - The roll can be kept in the fridge for about 3-4 days.
