thursday. turkey piccata.

since our family tends to get most of our meat through our big, strong, hunter-men, i'm always looking for new recipes. and it's turkey season! the last year or so, we've pretty much canned every bit of turkey we have. it's amazing. my dad is genius for coming up with the recipe.

but, i ran across this little lovely talking to another hunter-man at work. try it out. feed it to your kids. share with the dogs. you'll all love it.

turkey piccata.

step one.
slice turkey breast about 3/8 inch thick, lengthwise, to make the biggest pieces possible—like a big pancake. you will end up with several slices. for kid-friendly sizing, slice the strips super-thin.

step two.
take each slice and pound out to about 1/2 original thickness. a ridged or multi-pointed pounder works best.

flour mixture (mix below ingredients):

60% flour
40% fresh grated parmesan cheese
minced garlic (the more the better, right?)
salt & pepper (to taste)

step three.
dump the flour mixture into a large ziploc™ bag and coat the turkey pieces heavily.

step four.
fry in a fairly hot skillet of 1/4 Cup olive oil for about ten minutes per side. let sit on several paper towels to de-grease!

step five.
cut into serving pieces and serve.

REALLY yummy with mashed taters and a salad!

p.s. i don't have pictures for this yet ... but the one above looks pretty darn close to how it ends up!
