How to make it:
  1. If starting with uncooked skinless boneless turkey breast - slice off some pieces and cook in oil about 5 minutes per side until internal temperature of 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Dust with tumeric powder as it cooks, if desired.

    Prepare sauce:

  3. Using blender, combine all ingredients to make a smooth sauce.
  4. Thin with additional water, as needed.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings.

    Serving Suggestions

  6. I offer each ingredient in a small bowl for each person to make their own roll-up. These can be quite messy!
  7. I like to mix a small amount of sauce with the turkey before serving.
  8. These are especially good with the nori as a wrap.
