Steps:

• Put the turkey slices on a flat surface and pound lightly with a flat mallet. Each should be about 1/4-inch thick.
• Sprinkle the turkey pieces on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Dip the pieces in flour to coat well on both sides. Shake off excess.
• Preheat the broiler to high.

Scatter the shallots around the turkey pieces. Cook briefly and add the Marsala. Cook about 1 minute.

TURKEY SCALLOPINI

Simmer until sauce thickens.

TURKEY BALLOTINE WITH PROSCIUTTO, SAGE, AND ROASTED ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• To prepare the ballotine: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lay out the turkey breast on a flat surface with the skin side down. Pull the fillet (the piece that is loosely attached to the center of the breast on the opposite side from the skin) toward the middle of the breast so that it lays flat. Split open the large end of the turkey breast, while still keeping it attached to the rest of the breast, and lay next to the fillets. You should have a turkey breast that is roughly rectangular. Cover with plastic wrap and pound with a mallet until the surface is even and flat. Season the flattened breast with kosher salt and Szechuan peppercorns. Sprinkle the surface with the chopped herbs. Cover with the prosciutto. Starting with the end closest to you, roll tightly into a cylinder and tie every 2 inches with the butcher's twine. Season trhe outside with Kosher salt and Szechuan peppercorns. Place in a roasting pan and bake for about 1 1/2 hours, or until an internal temperature of 140 degrees is reached.
• To preapre the roasted vegetables: Toss the onions, carrots, turnips, and parsnips in the oil and vinegar. After the ballotine has been cooking for 45 mintues, add the vegetables to the roasting pan. When the ballotine and vegetables are cooked, remove them from the oven. Let the turkey rest for 20 minutes, loosely covered with aluminum foil. To serve, remove the strings from the turkey (scissors work best for this), slice, and serve with the roasted vegetables.
• Wine Notes To satisfy everyones taste, it is traditional to serve both red and white wine at the Wente family Thanksgiving dinner. More importantly, it is not necessarily the turkey that you are trying to pair with the wine. The other side dishes, gravies, and stuffing may have the stronger flavors and intensity with which the wines need to be paired. For a white wine, we usually serve a Sauvignon Blanc-Semillon blend or a full-bodied Chardonnay--both providing enough flavor and weight. We generally tend toward a light to medium-bodied red wine with nice acid, balanced tannins, and rich fruit, such as a Pinot Noir or Merlot. Whatever you choose, remember that there is no one right answer to a melting pot of traditions and flavors.

CHICKEN SCALOPPINE WITH PROSCIUTTO, MOZZARELLA AND MARSALA

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts between pieces of waxed paper and pound them with a mallet until about 1/4" thick.
• Lay out slices of prosciutto side by side on counter, with the length of the slice facing away from you.
• Place one of the chicken cutlets on top of 3 or 4 prosciutto slices. Fold the upper and lower edges of the prosciutto slices in and over the chicken cutlet. The cutlet will be partially covered by the prosciutto. Flip the cutlet over and it will be totally covered. Repeat with all 4 cutlets. (That seemed like a lot of work to me. I cut a pocket in the chicken cutlets and inserted diced prosciutto. Turned out just fine.).
• Break eggs into a wide shallow bowl and beat well.
• Place enough flour to dust the chicken in another wide shallow bowl.
• Dip each cutlet into the egg, coating well. Let excess egg drip off and then dip lightly in flour.
• In two 8" saute pans, place 3 tbl butter (I used half that amount) and heat over medium heat.
• When butter is foaming, place 2 cutlets in each pan.
• Cook the cutlets until golden on the outside and just done inside (about 2 or 3 minutes per side).

• Return pans to high heat and add 1/4 cup marsala and 1/4 cup chicken stock to each pan.
• Boil quickly until only 3 or 4 tbl of liquid is left in each pan.
• Turn heat to low and place 2 tbl of butter in each pan (again, I used less). Swirl with a whisk until a creamy brown sauce is formed.
