Turkey Scallopine Milanese with Mustard Cranberry Sauce image

Provided by Michael Chiarello : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

4 turkey breast halves
Sea salt, preferably gray salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups Mustard Cranberry Sauce, recipe follows
1 1/2 cups fine dried bread crumbs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley
1 teaspoon sea salt, preferably gray salt
Several grinds black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 eggs
Olive oil, for frying
1/4 pound arugula (about 8 cups)
Extra-virgin olive oil
Fresh lemon juice
Wedge Parmesan
1 lemon, quartered
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups water
2 vanilla beans
1 orange, zested and juiced
1 orange, zested and juiced
3 (12-ounce) bags fresh or frozen cranberries
Gray salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons Dijon Mustard

Steps:

  • With a meat mallet or a rolling pin, pound the turkey between sheets of plastic wrap to 1/8-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper and press the seasonings into the meat with your fingers.
  • Make the coating: Combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Work in the olive oil by hand, then spread the mixture on a dinner plate. Spread the flour on another dinner plate. Break the eggs into a shallow bowl and beat lightly.
  • Dip the turkey in the flour, coating both sides and shaking off the excess. Then dip in the egg, letting any excess drip back into the bowl. Finally, coat the turkey on both sides with the seasoned bread crumbs, pressing them into place. As each piece is coated, place it on a tray. Cover and place in the refrigerator until you are ready to fry them.
  • Heat a large skillet over high heat until very hot. Add olive oil to a depth of 1/4-inch. When the oil is almost smoking, add as many turkey scallopine as the skillet will hold comfortably; do not crowd the pan. Cook until the cutlets are golden on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook on the second side about 30 seconds longer. With tongs, lift the pieces as they are done, allowing any excess oil to drain back into the skillet, and transfer to several thicknesses of paper towels. Repeat with the remaining turkey scallopine.
  • Place the arugula in a large bowl. Drizzle with enough extra-virgin olive oil to coat the leaves lightly. Add lemon juice and some salt and pepper. Toss, taste, and adjust the seasoning.
  • Divide the turkey among 4 plates, placing them in the center. Spoon a little mustard Cranberry Sauce on each side of the turkey. Mound the arugula salad on top. With a vegetable peeler, shave a little Parmesan on top of the salad. Put a lemon quarter on each plate and serve immediately.
  • In a large saute pan combine the sugar and water and boil to form a syrup. Add the vanilla beans and orange zest and simmer briefly. Add the orange juice, cranberries and season with salt and pepper. Simmer until the cranberries start to pop, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add mustard. Cool to room temperature and spoon into jars.

TURKEY SCALLOPINI



Turkey Scallopini image

I got this recipe from my mom's old cookbook that she has been cutting and pasting recipes in for years. Have no idea where most of them came from but most are pretty old recipes. Some have names, some have companies, some (like this one) is your guess too! I have yet to make this one. This recipe is a toned down version from some that I have seen in that it isn't spiced or real seasoned up. I believe that you can add more seasoning to it for taste. Cooking time is not exact because it will depend on the thickness of the turkey slices.

TURKEY SCALLOPINI WITH LEMON AND CAPERS



Turkey Scallopini With Lemon and Capers image

This is so delightful and really quite easy for such a deluxe taste. The cook time should be taken with a grain of salt as it will differ greatly depending on just how thick your cutlets actually are and whether you are browning and cooking the turkey cutlets on an electric or a gas stove [more time for electric, less for gas]. The amounts for the herbs and capers do not have to be precise; an approximation according to your likes works fine!
