Preparation:

1. Preparing the turkey breast:
- Start by cleaning the turkey breast of any membranes or fat. Cut it into thin slices, being careful not to cut all the way through, so it remains connected. This step is essential for rolling the meat without issues.
- Use a meat mallet to pound the slices so that they become flat and even. This will allow for even baking and make rolling easier.

2. Seasoning and spreading the breast:
- Sprinkle salt and pepper on each slice of turkey breast, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Then, spread mustard on each slice, which will not only add flavor but also help retain moisture during baking.

3. Filling the roll:
- Now comes the creative part! You can customize the filling to your taste. Here are some suggestions:
- Telemea cheese filling: Add grated telemea cheese, slices of red pepper, and a few black olives.
- Cheese filling: Use grated cheese, telemea cheese, and olives for an intense and creamy flavor.
- Pickled pepper filling: Combine cheese, grated cheese, and pickled pepper for a tangy note.
- Wrap each slice of breast with the chosen filling and roll them as tightly as possible.

4. Securing the roll:
- Use kitchen twine or toothpicks to keep the roll tightly closed so that the filling does not leak out during baking. This is an important step to ensure the roll remains beautiful and compact.

5. Baking:
- Place the rolls in a heat-resistant dish. Drizzle with a little oil and season to taste. Add a cup of water to the dish to maintain moisture during baking.
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius and place the rolls inside. Bake for about 1 hour, being careful to turn them occasionally. This will ensure even browning and a perfect texture.

6. Adding the wine:
- Ten minutes before they are done, add the white wine to the dish. This will add a subtle flavor and help deglaze the dish, resulting in a delicious sauce.

7. Cooling and serving:
- Once the rolls are done, take them out of the oven and let them cool. It is recommended to let them rest until the next day to allow the flavors to develop. The next day, remove the twine or toothpicks and slice the rolls.
- Arrange the slices on a beautiful platter and enjoy an appetizer that will delight both family and guests.

Practical tips:
- You can experiment with different types of cheese or vegetables according to your preferences.
- If you want to make the roll easier to serve, you can prepare it a day in advance and keep it in the fridge to firm up.
- The rolls can be served both warm and cold, making them perfect for a lunch or light dinner.
