    Directions

    1. remove turkey skin – reserve for broth
    2. remove from bone – reserve bones for broth
    3. reserve all veggie peelings, herb stems, etc.... for broth, as it will be strained after cooking

    5. combine all veggies and herbs together with soy sauce and wine
    6. once well mixed, place a generous amount of filling onto ½ of each turkey breast
    7. apply layer of cheese over the filling, then fold the breasts back into normal position

    9. place lemon slices on top of cabbage leavesd
    10. place breasts in baking dish

    13. allow the breasts to bake for one hour at 325*F, then:
    14. baste with strained broth, and increase heat to 350*F
    15. Baste every ½ to ¾ hour
    16. bake until juices run clear
    17. To serve:
