- 4 tsp vegetable oil
- 3 tbsp chopped mixed herbs (eg sage, thyme, parsley), plus 4 extra sage leaves
- zest and juice of ½ lemon

- 2 turkey breast steaks, about 125g each
- 4 slices prosciutto crudo
- ½ tbsp plain flour
Step by step
Get ahead
Prepare to the end of step 4 the day before, cover and chill (or freeze for up to 1 month; defrost in the fridge). When cooking from chilled, add an extra 5-10 minutes roasting time for the roulades, ensuring they are piping hot and cooked through.
- Boil the potatoes for 12 minutes, add the shredded sprouts and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Drain well, then mash together. Season, stir in the chestnuts then shape into 4 potato cakes and chill on a plate in the fridge.
- While the potatoes are cooking, fry the spring onions in 1 teaspoon of oil for 2-3 minutes, then tip into a mixing bowl. Add the chopped herbs, lemon zest and juice, breadcrumbs and the sausages, squeezed out of their skins. Mix well and season.
- One at a time, put each turkey breast steak between 2 sheets of baking paper and bash out to about 1cm thick. Divide the stuffing in half and spread over the turkey, then roll up like a Swiss roll from the shortest side, tucking in the edges to make a neat little parcel.
- Lay 1 slice of prosciutto on the board and add 2 sage leaves, then add another slice of prosciutto to form a cross. Sit a turkey parcel on top and wrap in the prosciutto. Repeat for the second roulade.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a nonstick frying pan. Brown the roulades all over for 3-4 minutes, then lift into a roasting tin and roast for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, dust the potato cakes with the flour. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in the same frying pan and brown for 2-3 minutes each side until golden. Add another teaspoon of oil, turn and brown the other side. Transfer to the roasting tin with the roulades and cook for 10 minutes until the potato cakes are piping hot and the roulades are cooked through (use a skewer to test that the juices run clear).
- Let the roulades rest for a few minutes, then slice in half on the diagonal and serve with the potato cakes, extra veg and gravy.
