Turkey Fillets in Parmesan Crust
Ingredients
- 4 turkey breast fillets
- 3/4 cup stale breadcrumbs
- 1/4 grated parmesan cheese
- 1 egg beaten
- oil for frying
- 60g butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons drained capers
Instructions
Mix the breadcrumbs and the parmesan in a bowl. Pat dry the turkey fillets, and dip in the beaten egg. Coat the fillets with the breadcrumbs and cheese mixture, pressing the crumbs firmly. Heat some oil in a frying pan and fry the fillets until cooked through and tender. Keep warm. In a clean pan, melt the butter. Add the lemon juice and capers and heat through, but do not allow to boil. Pour the sauce over the fillets. I find that this dish is best served with quite a simple salad and boiled new potatoes tossed in a little butter with fresh chives.
