Turkey Marsala

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

Turkey Marsala



Turkey Breast that I cut up into cutlets (it's cheaper this way)
a dusting of Flour and a little S&P
a quick sauté in some Olive Oil until just done
transfer to a dish, set aside
add more Olive Oil if need be
brown some Crimini Mushrooms (we like alot)
along with some minced Garlic and Shallots
a decent sized glug of Dry Marsala Wine (please, not cooking wine)
scarpe up any nice brown bits in the pan
reduce
some Chicken Stock/Broth (`round about 1/2 cup for two servings, I like to have lots of 'gravy' for the Pasta too)
a goodly sized pat of Butter swirled in
(don't stir, this helps to thicken the sauce)
add back in the Turkey and any collected juices
let bubble for a bit
(taste at this point, do you like it? add more Wine or Broth, Salt, Pepper)
plate with Pasta of your choice (I used Barilla Whole Wheat Spaghetti)
EAT!

Nice, K-girl!

Mahalo, thanks Fiona and DL

Turkey isn't just for holidays

We eat Turkey in some form at least once,
if not twice in a week

I like to brine a full breast,
roast it off
and then divvy it up in portion sizes for the deep freeze
it's great in anything

I've made veal and chicken marsalas but never turkey. I have some frozen turkey breasts in the freezer from last November. I should break one out for a marsala.

yes, yes Andy, do try it,
and please let me know what your household thinks of it

Oh MAN!
As an Italian, I grew up loving Marsala- especially chicken and veal! But I've never had a turkey marsala. I am going to give this one a try!

 

[Andy M.]

I have made cutlets from pork tenderloin for other dishes. I think it would work for a Marsala as well.

Let me know when you guys try the turkey, I make this dish often with whole wheat pasta.

When I first got divorced and started learning to cook, this was a dish I made for my daughters when they came to visit. I made it with whole chicken breasts and added cream to the sauce. It turned out to be a favorite for them so now I cannot change the recipe when I make it for their consumption.

Who? Me?

 

[dcSaute]

made this last night - turned out most excellent!

 

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

dc, that looks great! are those lima beans on the plate? who this a solo supper or did you have company at your table?

 

[dcSaute]

dems' be limas. we're fond of limas.....

the other plate didn't photo so well.... or so I thought...

 

[Andy M.]

They both look good to me.

I think I got a bit carried away with the chicken stock reduction - failing to observe the "lotsa' gravy/sauce with the pasta" caution/advice provided.... would have been happier with a bit more liquid.

the rotini - Barilla - was a good choice, imho. I ingested a lot of that in s. Germany/Switzerland - I was surprised to learn Barilla manufactures in USA. In this house, if I didn't make the pasta, the B-pipples did. and, being a bit lazy, I've got a whole shelf full of most of their shapes..... just in case.

a dry marsala is not easy to come by in my area of Penna. we have state controlled stores - those people got no sense of wines.....

 

[Kaneohegirlinaz]

I do the opposite thing dc, since I rarely measure (other than when I bake) sometimes we have an over abundance of sauce/gravy, but I simply put it away for lunch the next day. It's also good for bread dunking too ...

I hear ya dc, DH is from PA. When we visit, I always come prepared with my "three buck chuck"
