Categories     turkey     Fry     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Fall     Chill     Gourmet

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large egg white
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup fine dry bread crumbs seasoned with pepper
four 1/4-inch-thick turkey cutlets (about 3/4 pound), pounded to 1/3-inch thickness between sheets of plastic wrap
1 cup cranberry juice
2 tablespoons lightly packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • In a bowl whisk the egg white and the salt until the mixture is frothy and in a shallow dish have the bread crumbs ready. Dip the cutlets in the egg white, letting the excess drip off, coat them with the bread crumbs, patting the crumbs to make them adhere, and transfer the cutlets to a rack set on a baking sheet. Chill the cutlets, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
  • While the cutlets are chilling, in a small saucepan boil the cranberry juice until it is reduced to about 1/2 cup, add the brown sugar and the vinegar, and boil the mixture until it is syrupy and reduced to about 3 tablespoons. Stir in the zest and keep the glaze warm.
  • In a large heavy skillet heat 1/4 inch of the oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it fry the cutlets in 2 batches, turning them once, for 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer the cutlets to paper towels, let them drain, and divide them between plates. Drizzle the cutlets with the glaze.

Categories     turkey     Broil     Thanksgiving     Quick & Easy     Dinner

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pkg. (17.6 oz) turkey cutlets
4 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 pkg. 5.3 oz. Chavrie® Pyramid
¼ cup finely chopped pecans
5 tbsp. whole berry cranberry sauce

Steps:

  • Heat broiler. Brush one side of cutlets with olive oil; place oiled side down on broiler pan. Brush tops with remaining olive oil. Broil about 4 inches from heat for 5 minutes. Turn and broil 3 minutes or until no longer pink in center. Meanwhile, mix Chavrie® and pecans in small bowl. Spoon mixture over top of broiled cutlets and broil and additional minute or until cheese is warm. Top with cranberry sauce.

Tips:

  • Brining the turkey cutlets: This step is optional but highly recommended to enhance the flavor and tenderness of the meat. Brining helps to infuse the turkey with moisture and seasonings, resulting in a juicier and more flavorful dish.
  • Using a flavorful breadcrumb mixture: The breadcrumb mixture used to coat the turkey cutlets is a key component of this recipe. Make sure to use a combination of different breadcrumbs, such as panko breadcrumbs, Italian breadcrumbs, and seasoned breadcrumbs, to create a flavorful and crispy coating.
  • Pan-frying the turkey cutlets: When pan-frying the turkey cutlets, use a non-stick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet to prevent the cutlets from sticking. Heat the oil or butter over medium-high heat before adding the cutlets. Sear the cutlets for a few minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Adding the cranberry sauce: The cranberry sauce adds a sweet and tangy flavor to the turkey cutlets. You can use your favorite store-bought cranberry sauce or make your own homemade cranberry sauce. To make homemade cranberry sauce, simply combine fresh cranberries, sugar, orange juice, and spices in a saucepan and simmer until the cranberries have burst and the sauce has thickened.
  • Garnishing the turkey cutlets: Once the turkey cutlets are cooked, garnish them with fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme, to add a pop of color and freshness to the dish.

Conclusion:
