Ingredients:

2

Eggs

3 cups

Sugar

1.5 cups

Water

3 tbsps

Dijon Mustard

Directions:

1

With a meat mallet or a rolling pin, pound the turkey between sheets of plastic wrap to 1/8-inch thickness

2

Season with salt and pepper and press the seasonings into the meat with your fingers

3

Make the coating: Combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper in a small bowl

4

Work in the olive oil by hand, then spread the mixture on a dinner plate

5

Spread the flour on another dinner plate

6

Break the eggs into a shallow bowl and beat lightly

7

Dip the turkey in the flour, coating both sides and shaking off the excess

8

Then dip in the egg, letting any excess drip back into the bowl

9

Finally, coat the turkey on both sides with the seasoned bread crumbs, pressing them into place

10

As each piece is coated, place it on a tray

11

Cover and place in the refrigerator until you are ready to fry them

12

Heat a large skillet over high heat until very hot

13

Add olive oil to a depth of 1/4-inch

14

When the oil is almost smoking, add as many turkey scallopine as the skillet will hold comfortably; do not crowd the pan

15

Cook until the cutlets are golden on the bottom, about 2 minutes

16

Turn and cook on the second side about 30 seconds longer

17

With tongs, lift the pieces as they are done, allowing any excess oil to drain back into the skillet, and transfer to several thicknesses of paper towels

18

Repeat with the remaining turkey scallopine

19

Place the arugula in a large bowl

20

Drizzle with enough extra-virgin olive oil to coat the leaves lightly

21

Add lemon juice and some salt and pepper

22

Toss, taste, and adjust the seasoning

23

Divide the turkey among 4 plates, placing them in the center

24

Spoon a little mustard Cranberry Sauce on each side of the turkey

25

Mound the arugula salad on top

26

With a vegetable peeler, shave a little Parmesan on top of the salad

27

Put a lemon quarter on each plate and serve immediately

28

In a large saute pan combine the sugar and water and boil to form a syrup

29
