About

This is my sister-in law, Luisa’s. Her kids loved this kind of thing when they were young. You can also make it with two chicken breasts, making two smaller bundles.

Method

Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F/Gas 4) and lay the turkey breast flat on a board. Roll up each apricot in a slice of pancetta and sit them in a line along one long side of the turkey breast. Roll up the turkey and stitch the seam closed with a few metal skewers or toothpicks.
