Scallops of Turkey Breast

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 8. serving size: 1 scallop.

Ingredients

One 4-pound turkey breast
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons minced shallots or scallions
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup skim milk
1/3 cup chicken stock (optional)
1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Slice the turkey breast into 8 scallops.

    Step 2

    Pat the scallops dry and dust with the flour well seasoned with the salt and pepper.

    Step 3

    Place between pieces of wax paper and pound each scallop two or three times.

    Step 4

    Heat the butter and oil to sizzling in a large skillet. Brown the scallops three or four at a time to avoid crowding, turning each when brown.

    Step 5

    Return all the scallops to the pan and cook for 5 minutes. Remove, set aside, and cover to keep warm.

    Step 6

    In the same pan, cook the shallots until brown, add the wine, and cook down quickly, scraping up the braised bits.

    Step 7

    Add the milk and cook the mixture down to a syrupy thickness, creating a sauce.

    Step 8

    Reduce the heat and return the scallops to the pan with the sauce. (If the sauce is too thick, thin with the chicken stock, adding a little at a time to obtain the desired consistency.)

    Step 9

    Sprinkle the turkey with the toasted sesame seeds and serve.
