Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 lb Whole turkey breast
2 Garlic cloves, minced
2 tb Chopped parsley
Salt
Fresh ground black pepper
3/4 lb Ground dark turkey meat
2/3 c Seasoned bread crumbs
1 Egg, lightly beaten
Chicken broth
2 tb Pistachio nuts
2 Sage leaves
1 t Rosemary leaves
6 tb Olive oil
1/2 c Dry white wine

Slice turkey breast and open it like a book. Flatten
with blade of large knife or with meat mallet until it
forms a large sheet. Sprinkle with garlic, parsley and
salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.

Place ground meat, bread crumbs, eggs, 2 tablespoons
chicken broth and pistachios in a bowl. Add a half
teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper and mix.

Spread mixture over open turkey breast, then roll up
the short way, as you would for a jelly roll. Tie with
string.

Place sage, rosemary and olive oil in a skillet. Brown
turkey roll on all sides. Add the wine and raise the
heat to let alcohol evaporate. Add a half cup of broth
and simmer, tightly covered, for about two hours,
turning only once. Add more broth if necessary.

Remove string before slicing. Serve with grapan juices
strained over the slices.
