Ingredients

*For the galette:*

- 500 g potatoes
- 150 g flour
- 5 eggs
- 150 ml milk
- 5-6 tablespoons flavored olive oil
- 1 bunch of fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt, chili, cayenne pepper to taste

*For the filling:*

- 500 g turkey breast
- 200 g onion
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- 1/2 green bell pepper
- 100 ml white wine
- Salt, chili, cayenne pepper, paprika to taste

*For the sauce:*

- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (preferably homemade)
- 200 ml yogurt
- 1 tablespoon horseradish mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- Salt, freshly ground pepper to taste

Preparation: Step by Step

1. Preparing the filling
- Start by peeling the onion and cutting it into julienne. Choose a fresh, seasonal onion for a sweeter taste.
- Slice the bell peppers thinly, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking.
- Cut the turkey breast into thin strips. It is important to use fresh meat, and if desired, you can choose marinated turkey breast for extra flavor.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the bell peppers and turkey breast, seasoning with salt, chili, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to combine the flavors.
- Pour in the white wine and cover the skillet, allowing the filling to simmer on low heat for 20-30 minutes, until the turkey breast is well cooked and juicy.
- Finally, you can check if the turkey is cooked by cutting a piece; the meat should be white with no traces of pink.

2. Preparing the galettes
- While the filling is cooking, let's focus on the galette. Peel the potatoes and grate them using a large-hole grater. This step will give them a better texture.
- In a large bowl, beat the 5 eggs. Add the grated potatoes, milk, olive oil, flour, chopped parsley, and spices (salt, chili, cayenne pepper). Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.
- In a non-stick skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Pour a portion of the galette mixture, forming circles about 10-12 cm in diameter. Fry the galettes until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Repeat until you finish all the mixture. At this point, your kitchen will start to fill with enticing aromas!

3. Assembly
- Once the galettes are ready, fill them with the turkey breast filling. Carefully roll each galette, being careful not to break them.
- Prepare the sauce by mixing the mayonnaise, yogurt, horseradish mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper until creamy and smooth. This sauce will add a note of freshness and a spicy flavor to our delicious dish!

4. Serving
- Arrange the filled galettes on a platter and drizzle with the prepared sauce. You can garnish with a few fresh parsley leaves for an attractive look.
- These galettes are excellent served warm, alongside a fresh salad or grilled vegetables. You can also pair the dish with a glass of white wine or herbal tea for a complete culinary experience.

Useful tips

- If you want to add a touch of originality, you can try adding grated cheese to the galette mixture, such as cheddar or feta, for extra flavor.
- Make sure the skillet is well heated before adding the galettes so they brown evenly.
- You can also use other types of meat for the filling, such as chicken or turkey, and for a vegetarian option, you can replace the meat with mushrooms or assorted vegetables.

This recipe is rich in protein due to the turkey breast, which is an excellent source of energy and essential nutrients.
