Professional Step-by-Step Preparation
-
Preparation of the meat: Extend the turkey fillet on a clean surface. Cover it with plastic wrap and gently pound it with a kitchen mallet or a rolling pin to flatten it so it has an even thickness.
-
Initial seasoning: Remove the plastic wrap and season the inner side with a pinch of black pepper and part of the Bonsalt Remember that the ham already adds flavor, so using Bonsalt is ideal to avoid overdoing it.
-
Assembling the filling: Cover the meat with the slices of ham. At one end, place the mango sticks crosswise.
-
Roll formed: Enclose the meat around the handle, pressing firmly. Once the cylinder is formed, tie it with kitchen twine so it doesn't open during cooking. Season the outside with the rest of the Bonsalt.
-
Sealed: In an oven-safe frying pan or casserole dish with the olive oil, sear the turkey roll over medium-high heat on all sides until browned.
-
Final cooking: Pour the white wine (or broth) into the casserole dish. Place in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20-25 minutes. Baste the roll with its own juices halfway through cooking.
-
Resting and cutting: Let the meat rest for 5-10 minutes before removing the string and slicing it. This will allow the juices to settle and the handle to maintain its structure.
