I came up with this thinking of a different way to serve the turkey breast. The sour cream seals in the moisture and no one would ever guess that it's in there. A great new way to try turkey. This is my husband's new favorite turkey dish.

BAKED TURKEY CUTLETS à LA MARYLAND

I found this recipe in the 1941 New American Cookbook, but it uses veal. Since I don't cook with veal, I have found that turkey breast or thigh cutlets make a great substitute. Other than the use of turkey, the recipe is exactly like the 1941 version.

Ingredients

2 lb turkey cutlets, breast or thigh meat
1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 c bread crumbs
1 tsp salt

2 Tbsp butter or
several strips of bacon

3. Roll turkey pieces in flour, then dip in beaten egg. Roll in breadcrumbs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on baking sheet. Dot with butter or lay small strips of bacon on top of turkey pieces.
4. Bake in hot oven for 25 minutes. Serve with white sauce or chicken gravy. Optional method: substitute 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for 1/4 cup of the bread crumbs.
