1. Remove breast from whole turkey, leaving skin intact. Butterfly turkey breast lengthwise and open. Pound lightly to an even thickness with skin side down. Blanch 4 bunches asparagus in boiling salted water for 30 seconds. Drain and plunge into an ice bath to cool. Braise 1/2 pound morels slowly in 1/2 cup butter and white wine. Remove morels from liquid and reserve 2/3 of liquid for vegetable sauté. Cool morels and slice into rings. Layer morel rings in a row in the center of the breast and top with a row of asparagus and a final layer of morels.
