Turkey Escalopes with Capers
by:    Jordan Parker  
 
Turkey Escalopes with Capers Recipe uses thin slices of turkey, called escalopes, along with lemon, sage, olive oil, bread crumbs, capers and salt and pepper to create this tasty turkey recipe.


INGREDIENTS
4 thin turkey breast escalopes, weighing about 3 oz each
1 large unwaxed lemon
1/2 tsp chopped fresh sage
4-5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup fine dry breadcrumbs
1 tbsp capers, rinsed and drained
salt and ground black pepper
For the garnish sage leaves lemon wedges


DIRECTIONS
1: Place the turkey escalopes between two sheets of clear film (plastic wrap) and pound with the flat side of a meat hammer or roll with a rolling pin to flatten to about 1/4 in.
 
2: With a vegetable peeler, remove four pieces of lemon rind. Cut them into thin julienne strips, cover with clear film and set aside. Grate the remainder of the lemon rind and squeeze the lemon. Put the grated rind in a large shallow dish and add the sage, salt and pepper. Stir in l tbsp of the lemon juice, reserving the rest, and about 1 tbsp of the olive oil, then add the turkey, turn to coat and set aside.
 
3: Place the breadcrumbs in another shallow dish and dip the escalopes in the crumbs, coating both sides. In a heavy frying pan heat 2 tbsp of the olive oil over a high heat, add the escalopes and cook for 2-3 minutes, turning once, until golden. Transfer to two warmed plates and keep warm.
 
4: Wipe out the pan, add the remaining oil, the lemon julienne and the capers, stirring, and heat through. Spoon a little sauce over the turkey and garnish with sage leaves and lemon wedges.
