Rolled Turkey Escalope with Parma Ham and Mushroom Sauce

(Escalope de dinde aux jambon de parme et sauce champignon)

 

A simple and rewarding main course that can also go down well as a starter in smaller servings.  The flavour combinations have an Italian/French feel to them but there doesn't seem to be any fixed origin to this one.

 

These quantities are for 2 people, so half, double or whatever depending on the number of people you are cooking for.

 

 

Turkey rolls

4 thin turkey escalopes

8 slices of parma ham (or other cured ham)

Parmasan cheese

Extra virgin olive oil

 

Sauce

2 shallots

50g lardons (or chopped pancetta)

20 button mushrooms

Salt

White pepper

100ml chicken stock

200ml single cream

A handful of chives

 


Preparation in advance

 

Turkey Rolls
Flatten out the turkey escalopes.  Lay 2 very thin slices of Parma ham on top of each escalope, then place a few shavings of parmesan (or sprinkle with grated) cheese.  Roll the escalopes up, starting at the thinnest end and tie up with kitchen string or strong cotton thread.

 

 

Cooking
 

Turkey Rolls

15 Minutes before serving - Turn the oven onto 200°C. In a large frying pan, heat some olive oil and brown the turkey rolls on a high heat, turning often.  Place the rolls in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes.

 

Sauce

In the same pan, fry the chopped shallots and the lardons on a medium high heat for 2 to 3 minutes.  Add the whole washed mushrooms and soften for 4 to 5 minutes.

 

Season with salt & pepper then add the chicken stock.  Reduce on a high heat to a thick sauce.

 

Remove the meat from the oven & leave to rest.

 

Add the cream into the sauce along with the chopped chives.  Thicken the sauce for about 3 or 4 minutes. Re-season to taste.

 

Serving

Untie the rolls (they will stay in shape).  Serve the rolls with a side of mushroom sauce.



 

Alternatives - This sauce can be used with other dishes or grilled meats.  The rolls are very nice also if served with a tomatoes based sauce.
