PRESENTATION:
I usually like serving the turkey rolls as a first course, and enjoy using chopstick at the table.
I feel this makes for a more unusual and fun table setting; which is key for any dinner party. I prepare the plates in the kitchen and serve when guest are seated at table. Make sure the table is properly set with mat, charger, chopsticks, napkin, wine and water glass in front of each chair. Take large dinner plate, Provence Lavender dinner plate by Haviland Limoges, as
in photo, place large butter lettuce leaf on plate. The lavender plate lends itself to a great contrast of color.
Then take small dipping bowl in fill ¾ full with mango sauce and top with some fresh chopped mint and place on lettuce leaf. Cut turkey rolls on diagonal and arrange three to four pieces around dipping bowl. Take some extra mango sauce and place in squeeze bottle, making a squiggly line in front of turkey rolls. Place a sprig of mint between two of the rolls. Ready to serve. This can also be arranged on a large platter and served at a large group or party.
