Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 2 servings

Ingredients

Greens

1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp orange juice
4 cups lettuce (arugula, watercress, etc.)

Scallopini

1/3 cup plain breadcrumbs
2 1/2 tbsp grated Parmesan
3/4 tsp dried rosemary
1 large egg
2 turkey breast cutlets (about 4 oz each), pounded with a meat mallet until 1/4 inch thick
2 tsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled
Lemon wedges, thinly sliced

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    For dressing, whisk oil, vinegar, and orange juice in a bowl. Efficiency tip: Cross a serving fork and spoon in bowl and place greens on top (so they don't touch the dressing). Cover and refrigerate; toss before serving.

    Step 2

    In a casserole, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, rosemary, and salt and pepper to taste. In a bowl, beat egg and 1 tbsp water. Dip cutlets in egg wash, then dredge through breadcrumb mixture. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add cutlets. Cook 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden. Arrange cutlets on 2 dinner plates with dressed greens next to each. Garnish with lemon wedges.
