Slice open the large end of the turkey breast while still keeping it attached to the rest of the breast, and lay next to the fillets. The breast meat should be rectangular in shape. Cover with plastic wrap and pound slightly with a mallet until the meat is flat. Cover cut side with sliced prosciutto and place filling on inside of long edge.
