Turkey Roulade
Who needs a whole turkey when you can have this traditional festive favourite in easy-to-eat, bite-sized portions? Just pop them into your mouth and voila! A main course that’s ‘no muss, no fuss’. Plus, we love how the mozzarella stretches out nicely after each bite, and how the parmesan helps elevate the flavours.
