Clean and wash the fresh chives. Pat dry with absorbent kitchen paper.
Blend the mushrooms together with the frankfurter and chives.
Prepare the roll.
Spread out the turkey breast on the working surface and pound well with a meat mallet.
Season to taste with salt (only a pinch, frankfurter are already rich in salt).
Spoon the filling on the surface uniformly leaving a margin of an inch free.
Roll up and tie with kitchen string or food loop top silicone by Tescoma.
Brown the turkey roll on all sides in the olive oil together with the onions in a pan, on low heat.
Turn it frequently.
Pour in the wine and let the meat flavor turning it frequently for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile bring to the boil the water enough to cover the roll (or vegetable broth if prefered).
Pour in the hot water, season to taste with salt eventually, and keep on cooking, half-covered, turning the roll now and then.
You should need about an hour.
Don't reduce the cooking juice completely.
Let the turkey roll cool and then cut it into thick slices.
Look at the photo for more details.
Put the turkey slices again in the pan.
Warm them up just before serving.
Use two paddles to move the slices.

What's the right wine ?
Our suggestion is: match Traminer aromatico (white wine of Friuli) in your special occasions, choose Merlot in your daily menu if you prefer red wine
