Turkey Scallopini And Squash Ravioli With Cranberry Brown Butter Recipes

Steps:

• To make the ravioli: in a medium bowl, stir together the turkey, cranberry sauce, cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper. Place 10 wonton wrappers on a work surface. Brush lightly with water using a pastry brush. Place 1 tablespoon of the turkey mixture on each of the wonton wrappers. Top with another wonton wrapper. Push out any air bubbles and press the edges tightly to seal.
• To make the gravy: in a medium, heavy skillet, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and stir until cooked, about 1 minute. Slowly add the chicken broth, stirring quickly to avoid lumps. Add the cream, parley, salt, and pepper and cook, without boiling, for 2 minutes, stirring often.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the ravioli and cook until tender but still firm to the bite and the turkey is cooked, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Drain the ravioli into the gravy and stir to coat. Serve immediately in individual dishes, drizzled with the remaining gravy.

Steps:

• Melt butter in skillet over medium high heat.
• Pound turkey to 1/4 inch thickness.
• In a shallow bowl, flour, salt,and pepper.
• In another bowl beat egg and water.
• On a plate, combine bread crumbs with Parmesan cheese.
• Dredge turkey in flour.
• Dip in egg.
• Then coat with bread crumbs.
• Fry turkey slices in butter until done and golden brown, about 7 minutes (depending on thickness).

Steps:

• This is a multi-step recipe, hang in t here --
• First, the turkey --
• Place the hazelnuts, cranberries, and panko crumbs in a food processor. Process until a uniform dry mixture is achieved.
• Build a breading station with milk in one container and dry ingredients in a second. Dip each cutlet in the milk first and then in the hazelnut-cranberry mixture. Coat well. Place each cutlet on a baking sheet covered with non-stick spray (or parchment paper). Bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 20-25 minutes, or until at the desired doneness. Be very careful as the sugar in the cranberries will burn -- this is why I didn't not cook the cutlets on the stove.
• When finished, pull out of oven and set aside to cool.
• Next, the Raviolis --
• Mix together the squash, cheese, cinnamon, nutmeg, sage leaves, brown sugar, and some salt and pepper in a large bowl.
• Form your raviolis by placing spoonfuls in side of each wonton wrapper (or your own ravioli dough) and sealing with a bit of water. Feel free to experiment making them any size and shape that is appealing to you.
• Place the raviolis in parchment covered asian steamer baskets. Steam for about 5 minutes until dough is cooked through. Set aside.
• On to the Sauce --
• In a large sautee pan, melt butter on medium-low and cook until it is a golden color. Be VERY carful not to burn. Add wine and cook for a few more minutes.
• In a separate pan, bring cream and sage leaves up to a simmer, do not boil.
• Add cream mixture to the butter mixture, and season with salt and pepper. Add Hazelnuts and cook for a few more minutes at medium - low heat until all ingredients are thickened and incorporated. Turn off heat.
• Serve dish by arranging the sauce, raviolis, and turkey on a plate in an appealing fashion. I garnished with chopped parsley, sage, and a few cranberries.

Steps:

• Bring 4 quarts lightly salted water to a boil in a large pot.
• Between two sheets of plastic wrap, pound turkey breast pieces to an even 1/4-inch thickness with a meat mallet. If you don't have a meat mallet, the back of a frying pan will work fine. You can do this a day ahead and leave them stored in the plastic wrap, folded over on each other. You can also ask a good butcher to cut and pound the turkey for you.
• Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the turkey pieces with flour, and pat off the excess; dip in beaten eggs and then dredge in bread crumbs. When oil is hot an bubbling, add turkey pieces. Do not crowd the pan. Let brown 2-3 minutes, then turn to cook the second side, another 30 seconds to 1 minute. The turkey will cook very quickly and will dry out if overcooked. When done, remove to a baking sheet or platter and keep warm. Do not wash sauté pan!
• To make the sauce, add butter to sauté pan and place over medium-high heat. At the same time, drop ravioli into the boiling water. When butter begins to turn light brown, add fresh sage. Stir for a few seconds; then add cranberries, and sauté until skins begin to burst. Add molasses, balsamic vinegar, and broth, scraping bottom of the pan to pick up all the flavor of the turkey. Simmer until cranberries are soft and the sauce coats the back of a spoon, about 12-15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Be sure to taste sauce for seasoning before you pour it over the turkey!
• Test ravioli for doneness in about 3 minutes--pinch edges of dough; it should be tender. Drain. Arrange 1/4 of the raviolis per person on hot plates and layer a piece of turkey over the ravioli. Spoon sauce over them.
• Tip: The sauce must be put together very quickly, so have all the ingredients premeasured and ready at the side of the stove.
