Ingredients
1 lb whole turkey breast
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp chopped parsley
1 salt
1 fresh ground black pepper
3/4 lb ground dark turkey meat
2/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 chicken broth
2 tbsp pistachio nuts
2 sage leaves
1 tsp rosemary leaves
6 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup dry white wine
Directions
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.
Servings: 6 servings

The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked far back into the distant past, certainly as far as pharonic Egypt, and maybe further still. Having said that, generally, these early cook books were just very simple pictorial recipes for meal preparation.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find a couple of cookery books which were published in the 14th Century - one book called `Forme of Cury`, and another called `Curye on Inglish`. Perhaps surprisingly, these two books are unconnected to the indian curry that is familiar to us all today, but instead accounts of the types of meals prepared by the cooks of the rich people of the time. When we get to the 20th century, cookbooks were highly popular as a result of higher levels of literacy, people having more leisure time and having more money. |
We hope you enjoy this Polpettone Di Tacchino (Turkey Roll) recipe.
