Turkey Breast Pappagallo
- Breast from an 8- to 9-pound turkey
- Flour
- 12 tablespoons butter
- 6 tablespoons oil
- Salt, freshly ground pepper
- Ham slices
- Sliced white truffles, or sliced mushrooms, lightly sauteed in butter
- Chicken or turkey broth
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Chopped parsley
- Remove the breast meat from the bones in two whole fillets and cut each fillet into slices about 3/8-inch thick.
- Pound lightly between sheets of waxed paper as you would for scaloppine of veal.
- Flour the slices lightly.
- Use 2 skillets for sauteing so the pan will not be overcrowded.
- Melt half the butter in each skillet and add half the oil to each.
- Saute the breast slices gently, turning them often, season with salt and add a few grinds of pepper.
- They should cook about 10 minutes.
- Then add a slice of ham to each slice and either 1 or 2 slices of white truffle (the Urbani white truffles are good, although expensive).
- If you use mushrooms instead, add a tablespoon to each turkey slice.
- Spoon a little broth over each one and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
- Reduce the heat, cover the pan, and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts and blends with the pan juices.
- Arrange turkey slices on a hot platter and spoon the sauce over them.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
- Serve with saute potatoes, chopped spinach flavored with oil and a touch of garlic and nutmeg.
- Drink a good white wine a Verdicchio or a Pouilly Fume.
