CREATIVE VOICE TURKEY ROLLS Involtini di Tacchino Serves 6 Ingredients 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for the pot 12 turkey breast cutlets (about 2 pounds total), pounded to an even ½ inch thickness 12 thin slices prosciutto 1 cup grated Grana Padano or Parmigiano Reggiano 4 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian Photo Credit: Tanya Bastianich Manuali parsley 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil All-purpose flour, for dredging ½ cup chopped onion 3 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced 1 cup white wine One 28 ounce can whole San Marzano tomatoes, crushed by hand Pinch crushed red pepper flakes Preparation Lay the turkey cutlets out on a cutting board, and season with ½ teaspoon of salt. Fit a slice of prosciutto on each cutlet, folding it in if the prosciutto slice is larger than the turkey cutlet. Sprinkle each cutlet with ½ tablespoon of grated cheese and 1 teaspoon of chopped parsley. Roll the cutlets up, starting on the short side, and secure closed with toothpicks. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons of the olive oil. Dredge the rolls in flour, and tap off the excess. When the oil is hot, add the rolls, and brown lightly on all sides, about 3 to 4 minutes in all. Remove to a plate. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Increase the heat, add the wine, and boil until the liquid is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, slosh out the can with 1 cup of water, and add that as well. Adjust the heat so the sauce is simmering, and season with remaining ½ teaspoon of salt and the crushed red pepper. Slide the turkey rolls back into the sauce, and simmer until the rolls are tender and the sauce is flavorful, about 25 minutes. 5 / 5 Copyright © 2016, Education for Justice, a project of Center of Concern..

  • How 'Masterchef'
    JUNE/JULY 2017 BY ROBERT FIRPO-CAPPIELLO How 'MasterChef' Winner Christine Ha Navigates Life with Neuromyelitis Optica When the cookbook author lost her eyesight to a rare autoimmune disease, she thought her life was over. It turns out, it was just beginning. For most aspiring chefs, winning the title of MasterChef on Fox's popular television cooking competition would be the achievement of a lifetime. Each season, more than 30,000 amateur cooks try for a slot on the show, where competitors are subjected to nerve-wracking on-air cook-offs under the watchful eyes of a demanding panel of food personalities led by host Gordon Ramsay. (In 2012, the panel included Graham Elliot and Joe Bastianich; for Season 8, which started May 31, the judges are Christina Tosi and Aaron Sanchez.) After several rounds of tests during which contestants are eliminated one by one, the last person standing earns the title MasterChef. In 2012, Christine Ha was that last person standing. Not only did she impress the judges with her mastery of the kitchen and recipes that drew on her Vietnamese- American heritage, she also won increasingly tough culinary challenges. In the end, she took home the title, a cash prize, and a cookbook deal. All this while facing one challenge no other MasterChef contestant ever has: Christine Ha is blind. Those who rooted for Ha as she gracefully navigated the kitchen using her sense of touch might have assumed she'd been blind—and a skilled cook—for most of her life. But neither is true. Her vision loss due to neuromyelitis optica (NMO), a rare inflammatory autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system, did not begin until she was 20—just around the time she was discovering her love of cooking.
