You can, of course, do the filling without chili. Dijon Mustard and herbs work so well with oranges. Celeriac brings the potato mash to a complete different level and in combination with oranges is to die for. I am very proud, let me share this recipe with you all. Bon Appetite!
My Turkey Roll is suitable for kids from 3 plus. Reduce on chili and serve as a grown-up meal. This dish has a very festive taste. Therefore, it is perfect for any special occasion like Christmas, New Year or Thanksgiving. Enjoy with your beloved!

Bacon in. Bake until crispy and golden.

Stir in the garlic, just to smell it out. Take off the heat.
