Turkey with Bacon and Greens
- 1 1/2 pounds Swiss chard, long stems removed, leaves chopped and washed well
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 pound sliced bacon, cut into 1/4-inch strips
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 4 turkey cutlets (about 1 1/4 pounds in all)
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Put the Swiss chard and the water in a medium pot.
- In a large nonstick frying pan, cook the bacon until crisp.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Pour off and reserve all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat, which you should leave in the pan.
- Put the pan with the one tablespoon of fat over moderately low heat.
- Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook, stirring, 30 seconds longer.
- Add the mixture to the Swiss chard.
- Bring the water to a simmer, cover, and cook over low heat until the greens are wilted and tender, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of the reserved bacon fat in the frying pan over moderately high heat.
- Season the turkey cutlets with 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper.
- Cook until just done, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Remove the cutlets from the pan so that they don't overcook.
- Remove the Swiss chard from the heat.
- Stir in the sour cream and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Remove the greens from the pot with a slotted spoon, leaving the sauce.
- Divide the greens among four plates.
- Top each pile of chard with a turkey cutlet.
- Spoon some of the sauce over the top and sprinkle with the bacon.
