Categories: Meat Poultry Main
Yield: 6 Servings

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	ts	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.
