Necessary ingredients:

- 2 packages of thinly sliced turkey breast
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs

A bit of history:

Meat rolls have a rich and varied history, found in different forms across numerous cultures. They were originally created as a way to use leftover meat, but have evolved into a tasty and refined dish appreciated worldwide. Whether filled with meat, vegetables, or cheese, rolls are a versatile choice for any meal.

Preparing the rolls:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by washing the turkey breast slices and drying them with a paper towel. This step is essential to avoid moisture inside the rolls, which could make them less crispy.

2. Tenderizing the meat: Use a meat mallet to gently pound the turkey slices. The goal is to flatten them without tearing. Once pounded, sprinkle salt on both sides to season them.

3. Preparing the breading station: Start preparing the three bowls for breading. In the first bowl, add flour. In the second, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and the 3 tablespoons of milk. In the third, place the breadcrumbs. This breading step will give the rolls a delicious and crispy crust.

4. Filling the rolls: Place a slice of cheese, a few slices of smoked sausage or pastrami on each turkey slice. Here you can be creative! You can also add some blue cheese for extra flavor or sautéed vegetables for a healthier option. Roll each slice tightly, ensuring the filling stays inside. If necessary, use a toothpick to secure them.

5. Breading the rolls: Roll each roll in flour, then dip it in the beaten egg, and finally coat it in breadcrumbs. Make sure each roll is evenly coated with breadcrumbs for a perfect and crispy crust.

6. Resting the rolls: Place the rolls on a platter and let them dry a bit. This step will help the breadcrumbs stick better during frying.

7. Frying: Heat the oil in a deep pan. Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the rolls. Fry them on all sides, taking your time to ensure they cook evenly and become golden and crispy. It is important not to overcrowd the pan so that the oil maintains a constant temperature.

8. Finishing and serving: Once the rolls are fried, remove them onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Then, place them on a platter and serve hot, alongside a fresh salad or yogurt sauces with garlic and dill.

Tips and useful advice:

- If the filling leaks out during frying, don't panic! Hold the roll with a toothpick, but be sure to remove it before serving.
- You can experiment with different fillings, including sautéed vegetables, feta cheese, or even olives.
- For a healthier option, you can bake the rolls in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 25-30 minutes until golden. You can also use whole grain breadcrumbs for a more nutritious option.

Serving and combinations:

These delicious rolls pair perfectly with a fresh salad or grilled vegetable side. You can also use a yogurt sauce or spicy mayonnaise to accompany them. Additionally, a cold beer or a light white wine can perfectly complement this meal.
