Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 pounds boneless, skinless turkey breast, cut into large scaloppini (12 to 15 cutlets)
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
5 large eggs, beaten
3 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Grapeseed or canola oil, for frying
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
Two 25-ounce jars store-bought marinara sauce
3 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan
1/2 cup roughly torn fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Season the scaloppini evenly with 4 1/2 teaspoons salt.
  • Place the flour in a shallow bowl, the eggs in a separate shallow bowl and the breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl. Season the breadcrumbs with the oregano, pepper flakes and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Working with one piece of turkey at a time, dredge each piece in the flour, followed by the egg and finished with the breadcrumbs. Place on a baking sheet.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet. Add 1/4 cup of grapeseed oil to the hot skillet. Fry the turkey pieces, 2 at a time or as many as will fit in your skillet, until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Add more oil to the skillet as needed. Remove to the rack and continue with the remaining turkey pieces.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter an 11-by-13-inch roasting pan.
  • Spoon 1 cup of marinara on the bottom of the prepared pan. Nestle the turkey pieces in the sauce to make one layer covering the bottom of the pan, about 4 pieces. Spoon another cup of sauce on top and sprinkle with 1 cup mozzarella and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Sprinkle half of the basil over the top. Shingle another layer of turkey, sauce, cheese and basil. On the final layer, cover the top with the remaining turkey and spoon over the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2 cups mozzarella and 1/2 cup Parmesan. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 45 minutes. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Very Moist and Flavorful Roast Turkey image

Does your turkey need a boost of moisture and flavor? Try this! Tweak it to your own liking as much as your imagination wants. Carve the entire turkey and save the bones, joints, tail, wing tips, drippings, and reserved onion, garlic and celery (but NOT the skin) to make turkey soup. Mix the apple pieces into your dressing.

Time 4h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup cold butter
1 (12 pound) whole turkey, neck and giblets removed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 Granny Smith apples - cored, peeled, and cut into 8 wedges each
1 large onion, cut into 8 wedges
½ whole head garlic, separated into cloves and peeled
1 pound celery, cut into 2-inch lengths
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Cut butter into 1-tablespoon pieces, quarter the pieces, and refrigerate butter until needed.
  • Use your fingers to loosen the skin over the turkey breast and thighs. Cut a hole in the turkey skin between tail and body (to affix legs); cut a hole on each side of the turkey beneath each wing (to affix wings). Rub the entire skin with vegetable oil.
  • Toss apple and onion wedges, garlic cloves, and celery in a large bowl until combined; sprinkle poultry seasoning over the apple mixture and toss again to coat. Stuff the body and neck cavities with the apple mixture. Insert each wing tip into the hole under the wing to secure wings; insert both legs into hole near tail to secure legs.
  • Place turkey onto a rack and set in a roasting pan. Insert cold butter pieces under the loosened skin, distributing the butter as evenly as possible.
  • Roast the turkey in the preheated oven until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, not touching bone, reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), about 3 1/2 hours. Check for doneness after 3 hours.
  • Remove roasting pan containing turkey from oven and cover with aluminum foil, lightly pressing the foil directly onto the bird. Let the turkey rest for 40 minutes before carving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right turkey cutlets: Look for cutlets that are about 1-inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay moist and flavorful during cooking.
  • Brine the turkey cutlets: Brining the turkey cutlets in a saltwater solution for several hours or overnight will help to keep them moist and tender. You can use a simple brine made with water, salt, and sugar, or you can add herbs and spices to the brine for extra flavor.
  • Season the turkey cutlets generously: Before cooking, season the turkey cutlets with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the meat.
  • Cook the turkey cutlets properly: The best way to cook turkey cutlets is to bake them in a preheated oven. Cook them at a temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes, or until they are cooked through. You can also grill or pan-fry the turkey cutlets, but be careful not to overcook them.
  • Let the turkey cutlets rest before serving: Once the turkey cutlets are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making them more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Turkey cutlets are a versatile and delicious cut of meat that can be cooked in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can cook moist, tender, and flavorful turkey cutlets that your whole family will enjoy. Whether you are baking, grilling, or pan-frying them, turkey cutlets are a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
