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