SAUTEED TURKEY CUTLETS WITH AVOCADO SAUCE

Steps:

• For the sauce: Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth; set aside until ready to use. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water. (Can be made up to 1 day ahead and stored, covered tightly in a refrigerator until ready to use.)
• For the turkey: Combine flour, zest, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and mix thoroughly. Add half of cutlets and coat well. Remove, shaking off excess flour, and repeat with remaining cutlets.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. When it shimmers, add 2 to 3 cutlets and cook until browned, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining cutlets.
• To serve, place turkey on platter, top with sauce, and garnish with a few slices of avocado and torn basil leaves.

TURKEY CUTLETS WITH MUSHROOM AND WATER CHESTNUT STUFFING AND PAN GRAVY

Steps:

• Turn on broiler to high and toast the bread on both sides. Butter the toasted bread liberally with softened butter. Set aside. Switch oven to bake and preheat to 375 degrees F.
• Season the turkey cutlets with salt, pepper and 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning - just eyeball it. In a large skillet, brown turkey cutlets on each side over medium high heat in 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Transfer the cutlets to a shallow baking dish and add 1 cup broth to keep meat moist. Transfer cutlets to oven, loosely tented with foil, to continue cooking through. To skillet that you browned the cutlets in, add 2 tablespoons butter and melt it over medium heat. Add flour to butter and cook a minute or two more. Whisk in about 2 cups turkey broth or chicken stock and allow it to thicken up, 5 minutes. Season the gravy with salt and pepper and poultry seasoning, to your taste.
• Preheat a second skillet, over medium high heat and 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan. Add chopped mushrooms and brown 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper. Add celery and water chestnuts as you get them chopped. Continue to cook until veggies are all tender, another 5 minutes. Add scallions, 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning and the parsley. Cut bread into cubes and add. Moisten stuffing with 1 cup broth or stock. Transfer to a serving dish. Use an ice cream scoop to portion out the stuffing at the table. Top mounds of stuffing with turkey cutlets and gravy, serve with sugar snap peas and brown rice or other vegetable side dishes of your choice.

PRETZEL-CRUSTED TURKEY CUTLETS

Steps:

• Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork. Microwave until tender, about 10 minutes; cover and set aside.
• Meanwhile, spread the pretzel crumbs in a shallow dish. Season the turkey with 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Brush 1 side of the cutlets with 1 tablespoon mustard and sprinkle with the thyme, then press into the pretzels to coat.
• Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the turkey, pretzel-side down; cook until golden brown, 2 minutes. Flip and cook until just cooked through, 1 more minute. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the skillet; add the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
• Combine the butter, 1 tablespoon maple syrup and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon paprika in a bowl. Split the potatoes and top with the butter; fluff the flesh with a fork. Season with salt and top with the chives. Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons maple syrup and 1 tablespoon mustard. Serve the turkey with the potatoes and maple mustard.

RUSSIAN-STYLE TURKEY CUTLETS

Steps:

• Break the bread into pieces. In a large bowl, soak the bread in the half-and-half until the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Mix in the turkey, egg, salt, pepper, dill, and the 3 tablespoons room-temperature butter. Put in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm up.
• Remove the turkey mixture from the freezer; it will still be very soft. Form the mixture into four oval cutlets and coat them with the bread crumbs.
• In a large, nonstick frying pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the oil over moderate heat. Cook the cutlets until golden brown and just done, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Menu Suggestions.
• Sautéed mushrooms are the traditional Russian accompaniment to turkey cutlets. Beets, glazed carrots, and mashed potatoes are other excellent possibilities.

TENDER BREADED TURKEY CUTLETS

Steps:

• Mix the bread crumbs and cheese in a shallow dish. Spread both sides of turkey with sour cream and press into the bread crumb mixture to coat.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place turkey in the skillet and cook 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until lightly browned and cooked through.
