To prepare a delight with turkey breast and carrot, we start by boiling the turkey breast in a large pot, along with a carrot cut in half. It is important to add salted water to give a pleasant taste to the meat. We let it boil over medium heat for about 30 minutes or until the breast is fully cooked and tender. Once the meat is ready, we take it out of the water and let it cool slightly. Meanwhile, we take care of the carrot that boiled alongside the meat. After it has cooled, we cut it into slices about 1 cm thick. These slices will add a crunchy note and a vibrant color to our medallions. Once the turkey breast has cooled sufficiently, we put it in a blender and blend it until we obtain a fine paste. This paste is the perfect base for our medallions, as it will be easy to shape and will have a pleasant texture. In a large bowl, we combine the minced meat with breadcrumbs, a beaten egg, milk, salt, and pepper. We mix well until all the ingredients are homogenized. The consistency should be slightly moist but not too sticky. Now we are ready to form the medallions. With wet hands, we take a portion of the meat mixture and form round balls with a diameter of about 5 cm. In the center of each medallion, we place a slice of carrot, which we press gently with our finger to integrate it into the meat. This will not only add an attractive appearance but also a delicious taste. After shaping all the medallions, we pass them through flour, making sure they are evenly coated on all sides. We heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, we add the medallions and fry them until they become golden and crispy on both sides, about 4-5 minutes on each side. It is important not to overcrowd the pan so that the medallions fry evenly. Finally, we remove the fried medallions onto a serving platter, on a bed of fresh green salad, which will add a contrast of textures and colors. For an extra flavor and a pleasant appearance, we can garnish the dish with thin slices of lemon. Thus, we have a tasty, healthy, and attractive dish, perfect for a family meal or a special occasion.
