Turkey Cutlets In Anchovy Butter Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• To bone the turkey breast, first remove the wings at the joints; set them aside to use in another recipe. Pull off the skin and discard it or prepare it as crackling. Cut around the breastbone and remove the meat from each side in one large piece. Cut each piece lengthwise on a slant into 3 large steaks, each about 3/8 inch thick, and pound them lightly to make them equal in size. Set aside.
• Drain the anchovies, reserving the oil. You should have about 2 tablespoons of oil. Chop the anchovies coarsely, and put them in a bowl. Toss with the lemon juice, and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
• At cooking time, heat the butter and anchovy oil in one large skillet or two smaller ones. Sprinkle the cutlets with salt and pepper. When the butter and oil are hot, add the cutlets and saute for about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. They should still be pink inside.
• Transfer the cutlets to an oven-proof tray and add the anchovy-lemon juice mixture to the juices in the skillets. Mix well and pour over the cutlets. Put in the oven for at least 15 minutes. At that point, if not serving immediately, reduce the heat to 170 to 180 degrees and serve within 30 to 40 minutes, garnished with the parsley.

Steps:

• Cut turkey, skinned side down, into 8 cutlets (see note). Cover with plastic wrap, and lightly pound cutlets with a meat mallet or bottom of a heavy skillet until inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over high. Working in batches, cook cutlets until browned and opaque throughout, 2 to 3 minutes per side (add 1 tablespoon oil when needed). Transfer to a plate, and cover loosely with foil.
• Add wine to skillet, and bring to a boil. Cook, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon, until reduced to 1/2 cup, 6 to 8 minutes. Whisk in Dijon; bring to a simmer. Remove from heat; stir in parsley, and season with salt and pepper. Top turkey with sauce.

Steps:

• Sauce -- Now, I like to use the same pan I cook the seafood or chicken in, but you can just make it in a small sauce pan if you want. Either works very well.
• In the pan, heat to medium high heat and melt the butter. Then stir in the anchovies and mash with a fork as they cook. You only need to cook them just a couple of minutes. Then stir in the wine, garlic, capers, pepper and 1 lemon slice and squeeze slightly. Just cook another 2-3 minutes and remove from the heat. Stir in the parsley and remove the lemon slice.
• Serve -- Just garnish your dish with one of the lemon slices and pour the butter sauce over your dish. A little pinch of paprika gives it nice color and a little spice to the sauce.
