Turkey Scallops!

It's a weird name but basically it's just round turkey slices with pine nuts! So. Good.

For these guys we took a heavy saucepan and heated it with about 3 tbsp of virgin olive oil. We threw in about 2 or 4 tbsp of chopped shallots for about 5 minutes. Next 1/3 cup of white wine vinegar, 1 cup of water, 10 black peppercorns, and 3 bay leaves to simmer for 20 or 30 minutes to reduce the liquid by half.

While that was going we beat 3 egg whites with salt and pepper in a bowl. We coated the 8 turkey breast cutlets in the egg mixture and set them aside then heated another heavy sauce pan with 2/3 cup of veggie oil. Once that was HOT we coated the turkey cutlets in about a half cup of bread crumbs, then browned them in the pan (about 1 or 2 minutes per side. They cook fast).  

We plated the turkey, sprinkled on a combination of 1/2 cup of chopped parsley, 2 finely chopped cloves of garlic, and 1/2 grated orange zest. We topped it with the sauce we had going in the first pan, then threw on some toasted pine nuts (one of the best parts in my opinion!). 

This was such a good dish and I'm questioning why I haven't made it again (even those this was just a couple weeks ago). It's going on my grocery list really soon.
