Directions


 



TURKEY ROULADE



Flatten turkey cutlets to an even thickness. Place pieces of prosciutto in a thin layer on top of cutlet.


Roll the cutlet tightly and secure with a bamboo skewer. Season outside of roulade with salt and pepper. Sear in a hot sauté pan with heated canola oil. When browned on one side, turn and finish in preheated 400º F oven for about 5 minutes.


When cutlet reaches 150º F, remove skewer and place sage leaf on top of roulade. Place cheese slices atop sage leaf, ensuring the turkey is covered with cheese.


Return turkey roulade to oven and cook until cheese is melted - about 1 to 2 minutes and turkey reaches an internal temperature is 165º F.


VEGETABLES




In hot sauté pan with canola oil, sauté shallots and mushrooms. Add garlic and deglaze with white wine. Fold in spinach and orzo.




SAGE PESTO



Place sage and spinach into blender jar. Using the pulse setting, add just enough oil to cause leaves to begin to puree.


Blend on high until very smooth. Season with salt and pepper.




BEURRE BLANC



Combine shallots, white wine and vinegar in a hot saucepan. Simmer mixture until almost all the liquid is evaporated. Add cream and return to a gentle boil.


Add cold butter and whisk quickly until it dissolves into an emulsion and forms a sauce. Season with salt and pepper.




SERVICE



Mound vegetables in center of a heated dinner plate. Surround with beurre blanc sauce. Place turkey on top of vegetables. Drizzle sauce with sage pesto.
