Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. Ingredients:
3/4 pound turkey cutlets (about 1/4-inch thick) |
all-purpose flour seasoned with salt and pepper for dredging |
2 large eggs |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
3/4 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese |
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 bunch watercress, coarse stems discarded and leaves washed well and spun dry |
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice |
3/4 cup fine fresh bread crumbs |
accompaniment: lemon wedges |
Directions:
1. Make turkey cutlets: Pat turkey dry and spread seasoned flour on a plate. In a small shallow bowl beat eggs lightly and in another small shallow bowl stir together bread crumbs and Parmesan.
2. Dredge cutlets in flour, shaking off excess, and dip in egg, letting excess drip off. Coat cutlets with bread crumb mixture and put on a wax-paper-lined tray.Chill cutlets 15 minutes.
3. In a 12-inch non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté cutlets 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side, or until golden and just cooked through. Remove skillet from heat.
4. Make salad: In a bowl combine watercress and onion and drizzle with oil, tossing to coat. Add lemon juice and salt and toss well.
5. Transfer cutlets with a slotted spatula to paper towels to drain briefly and arrange on plates. Top cutlets with salad and serve with lemon wedges.
