TURKEY SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Cut the turkey breast half crosswise into 6 pieces, roughly 4-5 ounces each.
• One at a time, place the pieces between two layers of plastic wrap.
• Using a rock, hammer, meat mallet, or any other heavy solid object, pound the breast pieces until they are about 1/3 inch thick.
• Season the turkey breast slices with salt and pepper.
• Put the flour, beaten egg mixture, and breadcrumbs in separate plates or baking dishes.
• Dredge the turkey pieces in the flour, then dip them in the egg, and finally coat in the breadcrumbs.
• Meanwhile, heat 1/3-inch oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over high heat.
• Fry the schnitzel till golden brown on one side, turn, and brown the other side until cooked all the way through.
• Drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Season with salt.
• If eating by the campfire, squeeze a lemon wedge over the meat, then just eat it with your hands. If you're in a more civilized setting, serve with a knife and fork.

TURKEY SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Cut the turkey breast (skin-off) into ½ inch thick slices. You can cut them across the short end of the breast or the long end. Pound the turkey cutlets or pieces, between 2 sheets of plastic, as thinly as possible. (Very cathartic before a family gathering!) Place the eggs in a shallow pan Place the flour in a separate shallow pan Place the remaining ingredients in a separate shallow pan combined. Place a medium sauté pan coated with olive oil over medium high heat. Season the turkey pieces with salt and pepper, Place a piece of turkey in the flour. Coat the turkey with egg thoroughly. Place the turkey in the egg. Finally place the turkey in the seasoned bread crumbs. Place the breaded turkey in the heated pan and cook until the breads crumbs are browned. Turn and brown on the other side. Transfer the browned turkey to a parchment lined baking dish. Continue with the remaining pieces. This step can be done one day ahead of serving. You can store the browned turkey in the refrigerator over night. Before serving, place the turkey in a preheated oven at 350 and roast the turkey until it is cooked through (about 12 minutes).

TURKEY SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse the bread into crumbs. Add the Parmesan, thyme, and lemon zest. Transfer the flavored breadcrumbs to a shallow bowl or lipped plate. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk and season with pepper. Place the flour in a shallow bowl or dish. Season 1 scaloppini with salt and pepper. Dredge the scaloppini in the flour and shake off any excess, then dip it in the egg mixture; finally coat the meat evenly with the breadcrumbs. Set on a plate or piece or waxed paper. Repeat with the other scaloppini. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. While the butter is still foaming add the breaded scaloppini and cook, swirling the skillet in a tight circle (which keeps the scaloppini moving around the skillet), until golden brown and cooked through, about 1-1/2 minutes for the first side. Turn the meat and cook for 1 minute on the second side. Transfer to a plate and cover very loosely with foil while you cook the other scaloppini. Serve with the lemon wedges.
