Russian-Style Turkey Cutlets

• 2 slices good-quality white bread, crusts removed
• 1/4 cup half-and-half
• 1 lb ground turkey
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
• 5 tablespoons butter, 3 of them at room temperature
• 1 cup dry breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil

1. Break the bread into pieces. In a large bowl, soak the bread in the half-and-half until the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Mix in the turkey, egg, salt, pepper, dill, and the 3 tablespoons room-temperature butter. Put in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm up.
2. Remove the turkey mixture from the freezer; it will still be very soft. Form the mixture into four oval cutlets and coat them with the bread crumbs.
3. In a large, nonstick frying pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the oil over moderate heat. Cook the cutlets until golden brown and just done, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
4. Menu Suggestions.
5. Sauteed mushrooms are the traditional Russian accompaniment to turkey cutlets. Beets, glazed carrots, and mashed potatoes are other excellent possibilities.
