- Carrot 1 piece
- Grated Pecorino Pepato Cheese 0 oz
- Walnuts 10 oz
- Dried Rosemary 1 teaspoon

- Chicken fillet 5 lbs
- Olive Oil 2 tablespoons
- Dry White Wine 1 cup

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 430°F. In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, sauté the finely chopped celery, chopped onion, carrot, and garlic, and simmer for 10–12 minutes until the vegetables are slightly soft. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the Parmesan, chopped toasted walnuts, rosemary, thyme, and parsley. Season lightly with salt and pepper and mix well.
Step 2
Rinse the turkey fillet and dry it with paper towels. Place it on a work surface, skin side down, and trim as necessary to create an even thickness.
Step 3
Season the fillet with salt and pepper. Spread the nut mixture evenly over the surface of the fillet, leaving a 3 cm border. Carefully roll it up tightly, seam side down on the work surface, and tie it with kitchen twine. Season the skin side of the fillet again.
Step 4
Sear the roll in olive oil on all sides until golden brown and transfer it to a baking sheet or a small roasting pan. Place it in the oven for 30–45 minutes (calculating 30 minutes per kg of fillet).
Step 5
While the turkey is roasting, pour the wine into the skillet used for searing and reduce it by half. Mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cool water to form a paste and add it to the boiling sauce. Cook on low heat, stirring constantly, for 2–3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and strain the sauce through a fine sieve. Season to taste.
Step 6
When the fillet is ready, remove it from the oven, cover with foil, and let it rest for another 10–15 minutes. Then remove the twine, transfer the fillet to a serving platter, and slice it.
Step 7
Serve with the sauce.
