I think there is a way to regain material.
1. Ne5 (assuming 1 is on the top) Bxf2
2. Nd7+! (This sets up a fork and black's queen is gone).
Black could do things to stop it, though. That may not be the best way, either. Just tell me what you think.
From my practice: capture a rook in a midlegame

You have in mind, I suppose, 3. Nd5!? with an idea 4. Ne7+. A nice try! Still, it's not help. 3... Bxc2 4. Ne7+ Kh7 5. Nxg6 Kxg6 and black will take also the rook b1. And another good variation is 3... Rxd5 4. Qxe4 (or Rxe4 Re5 and rook e4 will fall) Re5 5. Qxg6 Rxe1+ 6. Kh2 fg6; again, a rook less for a white!
The position below is from a game alfiloski vs LydiaBlonde, played in French Defence Open Tournament. White is under a strong attack. Does black need to be satisfy to take the pawn g4?
