Try this easy Turkey Roll (Rollata)

Every once in a while I take a break from our traditional chicken or meat main course on Friday night and use this easy Turkey Rollata (Roll) recipe.

In Israel we use the Italian term for the tied up boneless dark turkey meat.

It’s delicious hot out of the oven in the evening. Put the leftovers in the fridge and serve the turkey cold and sliced for lunch!

Kids love this dish, so I make it when the grandchildren are here. Also I like to make it when it’s just the two of us for Shabbat. One dish makes two meals and there’s very little to clean up!
