Instructions
-
1.
Preheat the oven to 200°C with fan and top/bottom heat.
-
2.
Wash, dry, and pat the turkey meat; using a meat mallet between two sheets of cling film, pound flat to about 2 cm thickness.
-
3.
For the filling, wash and trim the peas, blanch in boiling salted water for 4–5 minutes, drain, shock in cold water, and let dry. Mix 125 g of peas with the remaining filling ingredients; season well with salt and pepper.
-
4.
Season the meat, spread the pea mixture over it, roll into a roulade, and tie with kitchen twine.
-
5.
For the mustard‑pea crust, grind the remaining peas with herbs and breadcrumbs in a mortar to a paste. Add mustard, press in garlic, pour in oil, mix, and season.
-
6.
Brown the roulade in hot oil; brush the top with the mustard‑pea mixture and bake in the preheated oven for about 1½ hours, gradually adding stock while cooking.
-
7.
Peel and slice carrots thinly or into matchsticks. Trim the lower third of asparagus, cut off woody ends, blanch stems in boiling salted water for 5 minutes, drain, shock, and dry. Wash zucchini, trim ends, halve lengthwise if desired. Clean leeks, cut into 10‑cm pieces, blanch in boiling salted water for 3 minutes, drain, cool, and dry. Wash broad beans, clean, and blanch for 5 minutes. In a hot pan with butter, sauté the vegetables while tossing for 4–5 minutes; season with salt and pepper.

8.
If desired, thicken the pan juices into a sauce and remove the twine from the roulade. Arrange the sliced roulade on a plate with the sautéed vegetables, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve with the sauce on the side.
