Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds very thinly sliced turkey cutlets, about 1/4-inch thick
- Salt and freshly ground white pepper
- 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
- Fresh sage leaves
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 3/4 cup dry white wine
Directions
If the turkey cutlets you have purchased are thicker than 1/4-inch, place each cutlet between pieces of plastic wrap and pound until a uniform thickness of between 1/8 and 1/4-inch is achieved. Season each cutlet on both sides lightly with salt and pepper. Cut the prosciutto slices so that they are of similar size as the cutlets and lay 1 slice of prosciutto on top of each turkey cutlet. Place 1 large sage leaf in the center of each cutlet on top of the prosciutto and secure using toothpicks.
Heat 1 large nonstick skillet over high heat and melt 3 tablespoons of the butter. When hot, add half of the turkey cutlets, sage and prosciutto sides down, and cook until golden, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Turn the cutlets to the second side and continue to cook until lightly golden on the second side and just cooked through, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes longer. Transfer the cutlets to a serving platter and repeat with 3 tablespoons butter and cutlets. Set aside. Add the wine to the skillet and cook until reduced by half, 1 to 2 minutes. Finish the sauce with another 2 tablespoons of butter and cook until just melted. Serve the cutlets immediately, with some of the reduced pan drippings drizzled over the top.

Excellent! Very easy to make . My kids loved it. One thing I did was add some Dijon mustard and chicken broth when making the sauce. Will be making this again.
Thanks Emeril!

Easy, fast, delcious - even with my domestic prosciutto (horrors purchased at the last minute (I did use a really nice Pinot Grigio, however. The only thing I changed a bit was to lightly dust the non-prosciutto/sage side of the turkey breast in a bit of flour with s+p and reduced the amount of butter. I like the way the flour cooks up on the cutlet and allowed me to cut down on the butter by thickening a bit in the pan during the wine reduction. Dinner party worthy.

This is a new healthy and politically correct way to serve this classic dish to friends.
Serve it up with linguine with lemon/garlic sauce and you have a great easy and fast dinner
You won't know its not veal!
Most supermarkets have the beautiful turkey cutlets ready to go. Fresh sage is a must.
I use domestic Marsala wine; inexpensive and tasty. Make a little extra gravy as your guest will ask for more.
