Spicy Turkey Scaloppini With Cranberries And Greens Recipes

SPICY TURKEY SCALOPPINI WITH CRANBERRIES AND GREENS

Steps:

• Mix 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, chili powder, allspice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and brush the turkey all over with the spice mixture. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook 2 of the turkey scallopine at a time, turning only once until browned on each side, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a serving dish and repeat with the rest of the turkey. (Note: Wipe out the skillet with a dry paper towel between each batch, but not after the last batch.)
• Place the greens in a large bowl and set aside. Add the vinegar to the skillet along with the honey and cranberries. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, season the hot vinaigrette with salt and pepper, to taste, and pour over the greens. Toss to coat and serve the wilted greens on top of the turkey.

SOURDOUGH STRATA WITH TOMATOES AND GREENS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the tomatoes with the thyme, olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and black pepper in a bowl. Spread on a baking sheet and roast, stirring once or twice, until the tomatoes are slightly dried and browned in spots, 1 hour to 1 hour, 15 minutes. Cool completely.
• Whisk the milk, eggs, fontina, 3/4 cup parmesan, the cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl. Add the bread cubes and greens and toss to coat. Pour into a 3-quart baking dish, then top with the roasted tomatoes. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• The next day, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle the strata with the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan and bake, uncovered, until golden brown and almost set, about 45 minutes. Turn off the oven, but keep the strata inside 10 minutes before serving.

TURKEY SCALLOPINI WITH CAPERS AND LEMON

Steps:

• Pat turkey dry and season with salt and pepper. Dredge half of turkey slices in flour, shaking off excess. Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté turkey until browned on both sides and just cooked through, about 4 minutes total. Transfer to a platter and keep warm, covered. Dredge and sauté remaining turkey with another 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in same manner.
• Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet and cook garlic over moderate heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add broth and deglaze over moderately high heat, scraping up brown bits. Boil until broth is reduced to about 3/4 cup. Stir in lemon juice, capers, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste. Return turkey to skillet with any juices on platter and simmer until heated through, about 1 minute.

PEPPERY TURKEY SCALOPPINI

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened. Push the onion to the side of the pan and add 1 more tablespoon of the butter.
• Season the turkey with the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper and add to the pan. Turn the heat up to medium-high and cook the turkey until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes total. Transfer the turkey to a platter and cover loosely with aluminum foil.
• Add the chicken broth, vinegar, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the pan with the onion. Turn the heat up to high and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Return the turkey, along with any accumulated juices, to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until cooked through, about 1 minute.
• If you can adjust your pepper mill, the more coarsely ground the pepper, the better for this sauce.

SPICY TURKEY AND CRANBERRY PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Combine cranberries, jalapenos, green onions, and cilantro in the bowl of a food processor; blend until everything is finely chopped. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Stir in sugar and lime juice. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Mix cream cheese and Cheddar cheese together in a bowl until evenly combined. Spread mixture evenly on top of tortillas to cover. Spread 1/4 cup of cranberry mixture on one half of each tortilla. Layer 8 slices of turkey lunch meat over cranberry mixture.
• Tightly roll up each tortilla, starting on the end with the meat and cranberry mixture. Use a serrated knife to cut into 1-inch pieces. Serve immediately or refrigerate until use.
