  • 200 g sliced turkey breast
  • 1 cucumber, in sticks
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Dijon mustard (gluten-free)

Method

  1. Step 1. Lay the turkey slices flat and spread lightly with mustard.

    Heat
    Keep the heat steady
    Look for
    The new ingredient is coated and the mixture returns to a gentle bubble.

    Adding things in order lets each ingredient cook for just the right time.
    Avoid
    Dumping everything in at once: delicate items turn mushy before tougher ones are done.

  2. Step 2. Place cucumber and avocado at one end.

    Heat
    Keep the heat steady
    Look for

  3. Step 3. Roll up tightly and slice in half.

    Heat
    Off, no heat yet
    Look for
    Pieces are roughly the same size, so they all finish cooking together.
    Why it matters
    Even pieces cook at the same speed. Prepping everything first (mise en place) stops you scrambling once the pan is hot.
    Avoid
    Cutting pieces of mixed sizes: small ones burn while big ones stay raw.
