• Season both sides of meat with salt and pepper and then dredge in flour. Shake off the excess flour. Set aside.
• In a large saute pan over medium to medium high heat, heat olive oil and 4 tablespoons butter. Once hot, but not yet smoking, brown turkey scaloppine quickly, about 1 minute on each side, and remove to an ovenproof platter. Place in oven to keep warm.
• Reduce the heat to low and add the shallots to the pan. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes or until they begin to turn translucent. Add wine and lemon juice to the pan and simmer until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, if necessary.

Steps:

• Fit a sheet tray with paper towels and a rack and set aside.
• Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add a splash of cold water and whisk to blend. In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and cheese. Sprinkle the turkey slices on both sides with salt and dip each thoroughly in the eggs, then thoroughly in the breadcrumbs. Place the turkey cutlets in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter begins to froth. Add the turkey in a single layer and cook on the first side until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Gently turn on its second side and cook until cooked through, an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with tongs to the rack to drain slightly. Repeat with the remaining turkey.

BEAR'S EASY TURKEY PICCATA

Steps:

• In a small jar, make a slurry of 1/4 c of the chicken stock and 2 T corn starch. Shake well, and set aside.
• Place about a cup of corn starch in a pie plate or other shallow bowl. Dredge each turkey cutlet in the corn starch until completely coated. Shake off any excess.
• Preheat oven to lowest temperature and put an oven-proof plate in it.
• Coat bottom of a non-stick skillet with the oil and get it hot over medium to medium-high heat (depending upon your cooktop).
• Sauté the turkey cutlets until nicely browned, about 4 minutes per side. Don't crowd the pan -- cook them in batches if necessary. Put cooked cutlets on warmed plate in oven.
• Put the remaining 1 1/2 c chicken stock and vermouth in a saucier or sauce pan and bring to a boil. Add the capers.
• Whisking rapidly, shake up the slurry jar to make sure everything's nice and mixed, and pour about 1/3 of the slurry into the broth. The sauce will thicken. Add another 1/3 of the slurry if necessary (most likely). The sauce needs to be nice and thick at this point as it is about to get cut with the lemon juice. Use the last 1/3 of the slurry if sauce hasn't thickened to the point where the bubbles will stack.
• Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the lemon juice. Then whisk in each tablespoon of cold butter, one at a time.
• Serve turkey cutlets with the sauce spooned over them.

Sprinkle both sides of each piece with salt and pepper, then dredge both sides in flour; tap off excess flour.

When foaming subsides, add turkey, being careful not to crowd the pan. Brown turkey on both sides, about 1 minute on each side; repeat with any remaining turkey. Transfer to an ovensafe plate and place in oven to stay warm.
• Add shallots to pan and reduce heat to low; saute until shallots are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add wine and lemon juice and simmer 2-3 minutes, until slightly reduced.
