Turkey Saltimbocca Recipes

Steps:

• Flatten turkey breast steaks between two sheets of cling film using a rolling pin. Cut each steak in half lengthways.
• Lay a piece of prosciutto on each turkey steak. Top with 2 sage leaves each and secure with a toothpick.
• Heat oil and half the butter in a large frying pan over high heat. Cook the turkey in two batches, prosciutto side down, 2 minutes, then turn and cook two minutes more. Transfer to a plate to keep warm.
• Pour white wine into the pan to deglaze. Simmer rapidly 4-5 minutes to reduce slightly. Stir in remaining butter to melt through.
• Remove and discard toothpicks from turkey. Divide between 4 plates and serve with sauce spooned over.

Steps:

• Top each turkey cutlet with half a slice of prosciutto and a whole leaf of sage. Roll up the cutlets and drizzle them with extra-virgin olive oil, then season with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan. Arrange the roll-ups seam side down and cook 6 minutes on each side. Continue with the side dishes, see below, while turkey cooks. After roll-ups have cooked on both sides, transfer to a platter and reserve. Add butter to the skillet and reduce heat to medium low. Add flour to melted butter and combine with a whisk. Whisk in wine and cook out, 30 seconds. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups of stock and form a gravy. Add remaining chopped sage to gravy, salt and pepper to taste. Slide roll-ups back into gravy and simmer over low heat until ready to serve.
• For mushrooms and white beans, heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, then add garlic, red pepper flakes and mushrooms and cook 5 minutes to deepen color. Stir in cannelloni and season the mixture with salt and pepper, to taste. When beans heat through, a minute or 2, add the vinegar and stir in to cook out then add 1/2 cup stock to deglaze the pan. Turn off heat and serve.
• For the spinach, heat a medium skillet over medium high heat. Add a tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan, then the chopped pancetta. Brown the pancetta 1 minute then add onions and cook together 5 minutes, until they are just tender and pancetta bits are crisp. Add spinach to the pan and turn to wilt it while combining with onions. Season the spinach with nutmeg, salt and pepper.
• Serve 3 roll-ups in gravy with mushrooms and beans and spinach with onions alongside.

Steps:

• Put the veal cutlets side by side on a sheet of plastic wrap. Lay a piece of prosciutto on top of each piece of veal and cover with another piece of plastic. Gently flatten the cutlets with a rolling pin or meat mallet, until the pieces are about 1/4-inch thick and the prosciutto has adhered to the veal. Remove the plastic wrap and lay a couple of sage leaves in the center of each cutlet. Weave a toothpick in and out of the veal to secure the prosciutto and sage. Put some flour in a shallow platter and season with a fair amount of salt and pepper; mix with a fork to combine. Dredge the veal in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess.
• Heat the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter and in a large skillet over medium flame. Put the veal in the pan, prosciutto-side down first. Cook for 3 minutes to crisp it up and then flip the veal over and saute the other side for 2 minutes, until golden. Transfer the saltimbocca to a serving platter, remove the toothpicks, and keep warm.
• Add the wine to the pan, stirring to bring up all the delicious flavor in the bottom; let the wine cook down for a minute to burn off some of the alcohol. Add the chicken broth and remaining tablespoon of butter, swirl the pan around. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the saltimbocca, garnish with sage leaves and lemon wedges; serve immediately.
