Ingredients

  • 1.5 kg turkey breast (boneless)
  • 100 g sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 200 g fresh spinach, chopped
  • 150 g provolone cheese, shredded
  • 2 teaspoons Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 200 g cherry tomatoes (for cooking)
  • Kitchen twine or toothpicks (for securing)

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the turkey breast: place it on a clean surface and gently pound it to an even thickness.
  2. Season the turkey breast with Italian herbs, salt, and pepper, ensuring even coverage.
  3. In a bowl, mix the chopped spinach, diced sun-dried tomatoes, and shredded provolone cheese to create the filling.
  4. Spread the filling evenly over the turkey breast, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Carefully roll the turkey breast away from you, tucking in the filling as you go, to form a tight roulade.
  6. Secure the roulade with kitchen twine or toothpicks to keep it intact during cooking.
  7. Place the roulade in the slow cooker along with cherry tomatoes for added flavor and moisture.
  8. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the turkey is completely cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  9. Once cooked, remove the roulade from the slow cooker and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  10. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, alongside your favorite sides.
