Turkey Cutlets with Mustard Sauce; no top 10

Like the recipe site I found this turkey dish on.

I’ve never thickened a pan sauce with egg yolk before.

My mother always thickened everything with flour. I’ve always used cornstarch (corn flour, maizena)

This was a new technique for me.

We were most pleased…. It made a very silky, light sauce and the whole dish was ready in less than 15 minutes.

Oh, yes…..

It was also a rather yellow sauce – thanks to our bright egg yolks.

Turkey Cutlets with Mustard Sauce

Total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 – 4 thin turkey cutlets, 12oz, (360gr)
• 2 tsp butter
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 3/4 cup (6oz, 180ml) white wine
• 1 tbs Dijon-style mustard
• 2 tsp tarragon
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/4 cup (2oz, 60ml) Greek or plain yogurt

Instructions:

Cut turkey into manageable pieces if needed.

Heat butter and oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Add turkey and sauté until lightly browned.

Add mustard, tarragon, wine and stir well.

Cover, reduce heat and simmer until done, about 8 minutes.

Uncover and remove turkey to a serving platter – cover to keep warm.

Whisk together egg yolk and yogurt

Add 2 tbs of hot wine mixture and whisk.

Immediately add to skillet, stirring constantly until sauce thickens.

Spoon over turkey and serve.

Well, we’re already two whole days into the new year and I am being besieged by Top Ten Lists.

There are Top Ten Desserts, Top Ten Drinks, Top Ten Posts, Top Ten Recipes, Top Ten Stupid Things I Did….

Maybe not that last one – but I would actually click and read that.

I really don’t have anything against Top Ten Lists per se…. But, for me, they’re a bit like the Facebook status that asks if anyone is listening: Too many people are doing it all at the same time.

I think I’ll write myself a note to do my Top Ten Worst Posts list next May 19th and see if anyone is paying attention.

Actually….. I can’t be bothered.

Actually….. I’m procrastinating because I have a lot of French homework to do for class and I haven’t started it. Two weeks off and I haven’t touched my homework, even knowing it’s going to take at least three hours to do it.

You’d think, at my age, a mature adult and all that, I would know better, wouldn’t you?

Some things never change.

Did I ever tell you about the time……..
