Introduction: Cheese Stuffed Turkey Escalopes
I love making homemade chicken or turkey nuggets but I thought why not stuff them with cheese and see what happens.
You can use whatever cheese you like, I decided to use one that melts really easily, but it would work really well with blue cheese too.
I hope you enjoy my recipe.
Supplies
INGREDIENTS:
- 8 turkey escalopes
- Cheese (I used tartiflette cheese, which melts really easily)
- 8 large biscotte (for the breadcrumbs), you could use toasted bread
- Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp dried parsley (or fresh if you can get it)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 125g plain yogurt
- 2 eggs
- Flour
- Ground pepper
UTENSILS:
- Knife and fork
- Baking tray
- Plates
- Blender
- Spoons
Step 1: Stuff the Turkey
- If your turkey escalopes are large, cut them in half.
- Spread one side of each escalope with mustard.
- Cut a small piece of cheese and envelope it in the turkey.
- Place onto a plate.
Step 2: Adding the Breadcrumbs
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Blend the biscotte (or toasted bread) into fine breadcrumbs.
- Take 3 plates and put the breadcrumbs onto one plate, flour in another and the 2 lightly beaten eggs in the last plate.
- Take each stuffed escalope and roll in the flour (shake off any excess), then roll into the egg and finally into the breadcrumbs.
Step 3: Bake, Don't Fry
What's great about these escalopes is that you don't need to fry them. Cook them in the oven for 20 minutes, until they are a nice golden colour. Some cheese may escape, but that's okay.
Step 4: Make the Dip
What would go really nicely with these escalopes is a light, fresh dip.
To the plain yogurt add the parsley, honey, mustard and ground pepper.
Step 5: Enjoy!
Serve with a salad and baked potatoes for a comfy meal.
