Turkey-Pancetta Roulade Sandwiches
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons fennel seeds, chopped
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt
- 1 skin-on, boneless turkey breast (about 2 pounds)
- Freshly ground pepper
- 12 thin slices pancetta (about 2 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 8 ciabatta rolls, split
- 1/4 to 1/2 pound sharp provolone, thinly sliced (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the shallot, garlic and fennel seeds and cook until the shallot is slightly soft, 2 minutes.
- Stir in the rosemary, thyme, red pepper flakes and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook 1 more minute.
- Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
- Lay the turkey, skin-side down, on a cutting board.
- Cover with a sheet of plastic wrap and pound lightly with a meat mallet until it's about 8 by 12 inches and 1/4 inch thick.
- Remove the plastic wrap and season with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Cut four 12-inch pieces of kitchen twine.
- Spread the garlic mixture evenly over the turkey.
- Arrange the pancetta on top in an even layer, then sprinkle with the parsley.
- Starting from a long side, roll up the breast and tie gently with the twine.
- Brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Put the stuffed turkey breast on a rack in a roasting pan and pour 1 cup water into the pan.
- Roast until the skin is golden, about 40 minutes.
- Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F and roast until the skin is crisp and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey registers 155 degrees F to 160 degrees F, about 10 more minutes.
- Transfer the turkey to a cutting board and let rest at least 30 minutes before slicing.
- (If making ahead, let cool completely, then wrap in plastic wrap, unsliced, and refrigerate up to 2 days.)
- Make the sandwiches: Drizzle the cut sides of the rolls with olive oil.
- Sandwich the provolone and turkey in the rolls and drizzle the meat with any pan drippings.
- Stand the corn upright in a large bowl when slicing off the kernels so they don't scatter all over the counter.
