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!

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 CAPER SAUCE



Turkey Scallopini With Lemon Caper Sauce image

Turkey breast cutlets (now conveniently available pre-cut at the local grocery) have a texture and flavor similar to veal (which I don't eat) and is more flavorful than chicken, but it works across the board, to your preference. Make extra sauce if you want to serve over pasta or rice: this is an amount sufficient for the scallopini. Adapted from a Craig Claiborn recipe. Can be made ahead and frozen, thaw/reheat to serve over freshly-prepared pasta or rice.

Provided by Progresso

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Progresso®

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 (4 ounce) portions boneless turkey breast
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
2 cups Progresso® plain Panko crispy bread crumbs
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 (18 ounce) package frozen squash ravioli
¼ cup chopped fresh sage
1 ½ cups fresh cranberries
3 tablespoons dark molasses
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup Progresso® chicken broth or reduced-sodium chicken broth
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Bring 4 quarts lightly salted water to a boil in a large pot.
  • Between two sheets of plastic wrap, pound turkey breast pieces to an even 1/4-inch thickness with a meat mallet. If you don't have a meat mallet, the back of a frying pan will work fine. You can do this a day ahead and leave them stored in the plastic wrap, folded over on each other. You can also ask a good butcher to cut and pound the turkey for you.
  • Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the turkey pieces with flour, and pat off the excess; dip in beaten eggs and then dredge in bread crumbs. When oil is hot an bubbling, add turkey pieces. Do not crowd the pan. Let brown 2-3 minutes, then turn to cook the second side, another 30 seconds to 1 minute. The turkey will cook very quickly and will dry out if overcooked. When done, remove to a baking sheet or platter and keep warm. Do not wash saute pan!
  • To make the sauce, add butter to saute pan and place over medium-high heat. At the same time, drop ravioli into the boiling water. When butter begins to turn light brown, add fresh sage. Stir for a few seconds; then add cranberries, and saute until skins begin to burst. Add molasses, balsamic vinegar, and broth, scraping bottom of the pan to pick up all the flavor of the turkey. Simmer until cranberries are soft and the sauce coats the back of a spoon, about 12-15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Be sure to taste sauce for seasoning before you pour it over the turkey!
  • Test ravioli for doneness in about 3 minutes--pinch edges of dough; it should be tender. Drain. Arrange 1/4 of the raviolis per person on hot plates and layer a piece of turkey over the ravioli. Spoon sauce over them.
