Ingredients
  

  • 1 Boneless, Skinless Turkey Breast (About 2-3 pounds)
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper (As per liking)
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder (As per liking)
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 10-12 Cheese Slices (I recommend provolone or cheddar)
  • 6-7 Fresh Sage Leaves
  • 10 Bacon Strips (Enough to cover and roll the turkey breast)
  • Salt to Taste

Instructions
 

  • Mix black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a small bowl to make a spice rub.
  • Now, get your dry-brined turkey breast and gently butterfly it. Dry brined means you just salted the breast the day before and kept it on a wire rack overnight in the fridge
  • You want to start by butterflying the turkey breast so that you get an even piece of meat. Next, cover it with a cling film and beat it with a heavy pan or rolling pin to even it out.
  • Season the breast with the spice rub, and don't forget to salt the inside (as you like).
  • Put fresh sage leaves and slices of cheese over the turkey breast.
  • Roll the turkey breast tightly, wrap it with the cling film, and pop it into the fridge to firm up a little bit.
  • Now lay bacon strips next to each other and place the rolled-up turkey breast in the center. Wrap the bacon around the turkey to form another layer of the roulade.
  • Once again, wrap the roulade tightly in cling film and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes till it firms up.
  • Place the roulade on a wire rack and season it with the remaining spice mix.
  • Bake the roulade in the preheated oven for about 30-45 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C). You can also use a probe thermometer to check the temperature of your roulade for the ideal cook. I like to cook my bird at 200C/400F.
  • Remove the roulade from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
  • Slice the roulade and serve with your favorite sides.
