 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    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.
