Instead of chicken rolls, we decided to do turkey rolls for a change. Thin turkey cutlets are noticeably bigger than their chicken cousins, so the rolls are easier to make, not to mention that I find turkey meat a bit tastier than chicken.
Many will probably skip buying both chicken and turkey cutlets in fear of them becoming dry, especially since they are so thin. However this won’t happen if you just prepare them the correct way. Marinating them in oil and in something acidic like lemon for example makes the meat’s juices stay where they are supposed to be – inside the meat. Rolled and filled cutlets do not dry as quickly, especially when cooked with vegetables and other appetizers.
Turkey and chicken rolls are tasty and there is a lot that can be done with the filling as well. This time it was cream cheese with herbs, onions, and fried boletes inside them, and oh boy was it tasty. A perfect dish served with tomato rice, although any kind of risotto made with arborio rice is also very good.
Served with tomato risotto and cooked beans.
