HOW TO PREPARE (FIND A STEP-BY-STEP VIDEO DEMONSTRATION ON SOCIAL MEDIA):
- 1. Butter Stuffing – Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk together (could use a food processor as well). Set aside after mixing well.
- 2. Spice Mix – Combine all ingredients in a bowl, mix well and set aside.
- 3. Take the roughly chopped onions, carrots, celery and garlic in a roast pan.
- 4. Wash all the turkey bones and place over the vegetables in the roasting pan and roast for 25 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 5. Take the two turkey breasts, carefully flatten and pound with the help of a steak hammer and a thick plastic bag. Do the same with the thigh meat.
- 6. Spread the butter and roll the meat and start trussing it with the help of a butcher’s twine.
- 7. Do the same process for both the turkey breast and thigh meat.
- 8. Pull the roasted bones out and place the turkey in there and cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 – 30 minutes.
- 9. After the turkey is fully cooked, pull it out and carefully take out the 4 pieces of roulade and set aside.
- 10. Use the vegetables and bones to place in a stockpot and add 2 – 3 liters of water and let simmer.
- 11. Carefully discard the bones and blend the liquid to form the turkey gravy.
Chef Tip: Let the roulade cool down for a day in the refrigerator before slicing the next day and warm it up. It will hold the shape better this way.
