Turkey Roll-Up Skewers with very tasty zucchini and a heart of cooked ham and cheese
rolled and then combined to form tasty and stringy skewers.
Great for the whole family, a real treat, a simple but perfect second course for everyone.
They can be made in a short time with simple ingredients, can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge until ready to use.
They can also be made with chicken breast slices, and can be personalized based on your own taste.
The turkey roll-ups with zucchini are suitable for children too, they are cooked in a pan and do not dry out, making them ideal to be served as a complete dinner, enriching the protein content of the meat with the vitamins of zucchini.
Economical and light, zucchini and chicken roll-ups are a perfect second course but also a great dinner saver.
A small tip: turkey meat, being very lean, tends to harden a bit, so it’s best to serve and eat the skewers right after cooking.

Steps
Turkey Roll-Up Skewers
Wash a zucchini and using a vegetable peeler or a mandoline, slice it into very thin slices, set aside.
Lay the turkey breast slices on the cutting board and pound them to make them slightly thinner and tender.
Season with salt and pepper and place a slice of zucchini on top.
Continue with a slice of cooked ham and a piece of cheese.
Roll the slices to form a roll-up that has the outer side breaded.
Place the roll-ups side by side on a cutting board.
Insert the wooden skewers parallelly trying to keep all 4 roll-ups together.
At this point, with a sharp knife and a long blade, cut between each skewer to form 4 skewers that are approximately the same thickness.
Heat a little oil in a large pan and place the skewers in it, cooking them over medium heat until they are well browned. Turn them over and cook until golden on the other side too.
Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately with seasonal vegetables.
Enjoy your meal.
