Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds turkey breast cutlets
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 orange, zested
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, leaves finely chopped
Olive oil or vegetable oil
1 pound bulk sweet Italian sausage or 3 short links removed from casing
1 medium onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
2 large cloves garlic, crushed
2 small to medium zucchini, cut into bite-size chunks
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Gravy:

3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup red wine (recommended: Pinot Noir)
2 cups turkey or chicken stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Season the turkey cutlets with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Set up separate dishes with the flour, the eggs and the bread crumbs combined with cornmeal, cheese, orange zest and rosemary. Coat the cutlets in the flour, then in the egg, and then in the bread crumb mixture.

In a medium skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, and brown and crumble for 5 minutes. Stir in the onions, peppers, garlic, zucchini, thyme and salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and cook until the zucchini is tender, about 10 to 12 minutes

Heat a saute pan with 1/4-inch of oil over medium to medium-high heat.

Add the cutlets, in batches, and cook until deep golden brown, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer the cutlets, when cooked, to a baking rack to keep crisp.

For the gravy:

Melt the butter in small skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the wine and reduce for a minute or so, then whisk in the stock and cook until thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Mound the sausage and zucchini on serving plates, top with the cutlets, then douse with gravy and serve.

yummmm
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was absolutely delicious! It did take me about 45 minutes to make, but it was so so so good. The only problem I had was... that my "stuffing" was a little watery so next time I will let the liquid cook out for a few minutes. I definitely recommend this!Read more

Great Side Dish and awesome Coating flavor
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Really enjoyed the dish and will make the cutlets and side dish again. The gravy didn't work for me. Couldn't get past the... pink color and since not a big wine fan, the flavor was too strong for me. I would recommend the cutlets and side dish though. Enjoy.Read more

Perfect combo
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The tipsy gravy is fantastic. It plays so well with the orange zest in the breading for the turkey breast. My husband and I... loved this recipe and will be making it again soon! Read more

Great veggies
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

What I did was make stuffed green peppers and mashed potatoes. The veggies were amazing. I used leeks instead of onion My... boyfriend wants me to make it again, he never tasted anything like that. Thanks for a great and easy recipe. Read more

I'm Glad I Made It.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This was very good. Easy to prepare and interesting flavors. Next time I think I'll make some mashed potatoes and eliminate... the peppers from the zucchini. I liked the taste, but was somewhat overwhelmed by the complexity. Mashed potatoes or rice would help to balance that I think. Read more
