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.

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.
