Best 4 Turkey Milanese Recipes

GENNARO'S TURKEY MILANESE

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, halve the turkey breast across the middle so it opens out like a book, then cut each piece in half so you end up with four equal-sized pieces.
• Place the turkey on a board, cover with a large piece of cling film and bash each piece to roughly ½cm thick. Beat three eggs in a bowl, then place the breadcrumbs and flour into two separate bowls. Dip a turkey breast in the flour, then shake off any excess and dip into the egg and roll in the breadcrumbs until well coated. Place onto a tray, then repeat with the remaining turkey.
• Slice the cheese into thin slices, then place onto the turkey, using your hands to stick it down. Layer over the Parma ham, pushing it down so it sticks, then coat each turkey breast in the flour, dip in the egg and coat in the breadcrumbs once more, then set aside.
• Heat a good lug of olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add two turkey breasts and fry for 6 to 8 minutes, or until cooked through and golden, turning halfway. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining turkey. Meanwhile, fry the remaining eggs in a large non-stick frying pan for 2 to 3 minutes for runny eggs. Divide the turkey between your plates, layer over the eggs and drizzle a little truffle oil on top, if using. Finish with a grating of Parmesan and serve with a nice watercress salad, if you like.

• Heat 1/4 cup of canola oil in a medium high sided saute pan until it just begins to shimmer. Dredge the sliced breast in the flour, tap off excess then dip in the egg wash letting any excess drip off and then dredge in the bread crumbs. Place in the oil and cook until just golden brown on both sides. Remove from pan and place on a plate lined with paper towels.
• Whisk together the vinegar, pomegranate molasses, mustard and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. Add the arugula to the bowl and toss with the dressing; season with salt and pepper.;
• Assembly: Spoon some of the mushroom gravy on 4 large plates, top with 2 pieces of the turkey. Place some of the salad on top of the turkey and sprinkle with some of the cheese.

CHEESY TURKEY MILANESE

Steps:

• Put the flour in a bowl with a little seasoning, beat the egg in another bowl with a splash of water. Tip the breadcrumbs and rosemary into another bowl, drizzle over 1 tbsp oil and rub together with your fingers until the breadcrumbs are a little moist. Dip the turkey steaks into the flour, dust off the excess, then dip in the egg followed by the breadcrumbs, pressing to help them stick. Put on a plate and chill while you prepare the sauce.
• Heat the remaining oil in a large pan. Add the garlic and sizzle for 30 secs, then add the tomatoes. Season and bubble for 15 mins until the sauce is thick, adding a pinch of sugar if the taste is too sharp. While the sauce cooks, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6, put the turkey steaks on a baking tray and bake for 10 mins, then remove from the oven, top with mozzarella slices and return to the oven for another 5 mins, until the turkey is cooked through and the cheese has melted.
• Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti following pack instructions. Drain, then toss through the tomato sauce. Divide between plates and top with a turkey steak and a generous scattering of basil leaves.
