Servings

4 Servings

Ingredients

  • 1 2- pound turkey breast or 4 turkey cutlets
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 cup panko style bread crumbs
  • 3 tablespoon chopped flat leaf parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
  • 3-4 fresh sage leaves chopped
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Cut the turkey breast (skin-off) into ½ inch thick slices. You can cut them across the short end of the breast or the long end. Pound the turkey cutlets or pieces, between 2 sheets of plastic, as thinly as possible. (Very cathartic before a family gathering!)
  • Place the eggs in a shallow pan
  • Place the flour in a separate shallow pan
  • Place the remaining ingredients in a separate shallow pan combined.
  • Place a medium sauté pan coated with olive oil over medium high heat.
  • Season the turkey pieces with salt and pepper, Place a piece of turkey in the flour. Coat the turkey with egg thoroughly. Place the turkey in the egg. Finally place the turkey in the seasoned bread crumbs.
  • Place the breaded turkey in the heated pan and cook until the breads crumbs are browned. Turn and brown on the other side. Transfer the browned turkey to a parchment lined baking dish. Continue with the remaining pieces. This step can be done one day ahead of serving. You can store the browned turkey in the refrigerator over night.
  • Before serving, place the turkey in a preheated oven at 350 and roast the turkey until it is cooked through (about 12 minutes).
