Ingredients
- Ground turkey: 1 pound
- Deli sliced turkey breast (large, thin slices): 6 slices
- Turkey beef bacon (dinde): 6 slices
- Sliced Provolone or Cheddar cheese: 6 slices
- Unsalted butter: 4 tablespoons
- Garlic (freshly minced): 2 cloves
- Worcestershire sauce: 1 teaspoon
- Salt and black pepper: To taste
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the ground turkey, breaking it up as it browns. Drain any excess fat, then season the turkey with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Set the cooked turkey aside in a bowl.
- Step 2: In a separate small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant; do not brown the garlic. Cook the turkey beef bacon slices until crisp, then drain and roughly chop them into small pieces.
- Step 3: Assemble the rollups. Lay one slice of deli turkey flat on a clean surface. Place one slice of cheese on top, followed by approximately 1/4 cup of the seasoned ground turkey mixture and a sprinkle of chopped turkey turkey bacon. Tightly roll the ingredients into a compact cylinder. Repeat for all remaining rollups.
- Step 4: Return the large skillet to medium heat. Brush the outsides of the rollups liberally with the prepared garlic butter. Place the rollups seam-side down in the skillet. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, continuously basting with the remaining garlic butter, until the rollups are golden brown and the interior cheese has completely melted.
- Step 5: Remove the rollups from the skillet and serve immediately, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or extra garlic butter sauce.
Notes
- Store leftover rollups tightly sealed in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; for best texture, avoid freezing as the deli turkey slices may become watery upon thawing.
- To restore the delicious crispy exterior, reheat the rollups in a toaster oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is gooey again.
- Cut the richness of the garlic butter and cheese by serving these hearty rollups alongside a simple side of marinara sauce for dipping or a fresh, crisp green salad dressed with a vinaigrette.
- For perfectly sealed, non-unraveling rollups, make sure to place the seam-side down first in the hot skillet and use a compact rolling technique during assembly.
