Turkey roulade

This was a holiday dinner request from brother Ignatius, who lived in Argentina. Our Argentine cookbook gives Mom-style recipes (see post below). So we made it up. It was very hard to roulade, but it was delicious. I think I would make it again, but not try for a roulade-- maybe just bake the "filling" on top of flattened turkey breasts.

Saute in olive oil very finely diced:
red sweet pepper
onion
carrot
with some minced garlic

Season with salt, pepper. Keep in mind the ham, bacon, and cheese will be salty.

Add finely diced:
hard boiled egg
cooked ham
crumbled crisp bacon

And:
shredded parmesan cheese
Any other salty cheese you might have around.

Flatten turkey breasts. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, parsley, crushed red pepper or cayenne. If you are brave, roll the filling up in it and tie. Or don't. 

Bake.

Make a gravy to serve with it.
