Turkey Roll with Mushrooms and Cheese, Wrapped in Bacon

Ingredients

• 220 g Bacon (Use the slices to form the outer covering of the roll.)
• 400 g Ground chicken or turkey (The post allows for using either chicken or turkey.)
• 300 g Mushrooms (Clean and chop; the post does not specify whether they should be added raw or sautéed.)
• 100 g Cheese (Grated or cut into pieces for the filling; the type is not specified.)
• Fresh herbs (To taste; chopped. The quantity is not given in the post.)

Steps

1. 1

   Clean the mushrooms and chop them finely. Also chop the fresh herbs and prepare the cheese for the filling.

2. 2

   Arrange the bacon slices, slightly overlapping, on a sheet of parchment paper, forming a rectangular layer large enough to wrap the roll.

3. 3

   Place the ground chicken or turkey over the bacon and spread it into an even layer, leaving a small margin around the edges so it can be rolled.

4. 4

   Add the mushrooms, cheese, and herbs over the meat, distributing them evenly. Gently press the filling so it is compact.

5. 5

   Roll up the preparation using the paper, making sure the filling is completely enclosed. Place the roll seam-side down so it retains its shape during cooking.

6. 6

   Preheat the air fryer to 180 °C. Place the roll in the basket or on the tray, leaving space around it so the bacon browns evenly.

7. 7

   Cook at 180 °C for 20 minutes, until the bacon is golden brown and the meat is fully cooked. As a safety check, the center should reach 74 °C.

8. 8

   Let the roll rest for a few minutes before slicing, so the juices can redistribute and the filling stays in place.

Notes

The published recipe does not indicate the type of cheese, the quantity of herbs, or whether the mushrooms should be cooked before assembling the roll. To prevent the filling from releasing too much water, you can sauté the mushrooms and let them cool before using them. Check the internal temperature at the center, especially if the roll is thick.
