April 2009

SERVES 6

Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 15 min
Ingredients

2 large eggs
1/2 cup store-bought pesto
1 cup walnuts, finely ground
3/4 cup breadcrumbs

4 turkey breast cutlets
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Lemon wedges, for serving





1. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the pesto to a second medium bowl. In a third bowl, mix the walnuts and breadcrumbs. Add the turkey cutlets to the pesto, turning to coat. Working with one at a time, dip the cutlets into the walnut mixture, then the eggs, then the walnut mixture again to coat.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cutlets, lower the heat to low and cook, turning once, until golden-brown, 5 to 6 minutes on each side; serve with the lemon wedges.
