Let’s proceed with the Easter lunch, presenting a tasty turkey roulade, which contains the delicate caramelized onions and ham. All wrapped in slices cooked ham, which help to keep the meat soft and making it even tastier 😉 .
Last year at Easter we prepared an excellent rabbit with cranberries… And we did not find any chocolate egg hidden in the garden 🙁 . Coincidence? To avoid this tragic accident, we do not recommend to cook the rabbit for Easter at all… Hoping that this year the Easter Bunny accept our apologies and we bring some small chocolate eggs 😉 .

In our region we do have two types of ham: the cooked one is basically the same other countries have, that is pork leg bolied in water or baked. This kinf of ham is kind of sweet. The other ham we have is called “raw ham”, but of course it is not a raw animal. It is simply cooked in smoke or salt. This kind of meat has of course a more salted flavour. Now that you know the difference, you have to try both!

Turkey roulade with ham and caramelized onions

Cuisine Egg free, Gluten free, Lactose free

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 1 hour

Total Time 1 hour 20 minutes

Servings 4 people

Difficulty

Ingredients

• 750 g of turkey breast
• 200 g of cooked ham
• 100 g of raw ham
• 5 large onions
• 3 sage leaves
• 2 tablespoons of honey
• 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
• 1 pinch of red pepper preferably as the fruity habanero
• black pepper

Instructions

1. Cut the onions into very thin rings. Sauté with sugar, honey and chili. Adjust the salt and cook over medium heat until they are well caramelized.
2. Cut the turkey breast into thin slices, beat the slices of meat in order to reduce thickness.
3. Lay a piece of plastic on a tray, forme a rectangle with slices of turkey, slightly overlapping each other.
4. Sprinkle with pepper and a pinch of salt, add the sage leaves and cover with slices of cooked ham. It will be easier if you roll up the roulade if you orient the raw ham slices ninety degrees to the turkey.
5. Now cover with plastic wrap and helping with other tray flip the whole thing.
6. Remove the top film and salt a little bite the turkey. Top with caramelized onions, forming a layer of about 3-4 mm; add slices of raw ham.
7. Now with the aid of film, roll the roulade, tie with kitchen string and arrange on a large baking sheet.
8. Cover the pan and cook the roulade in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 40-45 minutes; every 15 minutes, moisten it with its sauce. After this time, discover the pan and make grilling a few minutes, so that the ham will become nice crisp.
9. Let cool 10 minutes before cutting.
10. Serve the slices of turkey roulade on a small bed of caramelized onions, lightly moistened with a tablespoon of cooking liquid.
