Turkey Escalopes and Cheddar Sauce

This was lurking somewhere at the back of my head :). I have used turkey breast steaks, but if you find them hard to get, use pork, veal or chicken instead.

Ingredient

Food ration :

3 servings

Cooking time :

30 mins

3/4 cup

sharp cheddar, grated

1/3 cup

butter

1/3 cup

all purpose flour

2 1/2 cup

milk plus extra if needed, to let down cheese sauce

1/2 tsp

English mustard powder or French Dijon mustard (optional)

1 pinch

Salt and white pepper

turkey breast steaks

1 1/2 cup

flour (for the turkey steaks)

eggs, beaten

1 cup

dried breadcrumbs

3 tbsp

vegetable oil, for frying

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Start by making the cheddar sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan, then mix in flour to make a roux.

* Step 2

Add milk a quarter cup at a time, mixing each one in thoroughly before adding the next.

* Step 3

Keep stirring until sauce is silky. Add mustard, white pepper and a pinch of salt. Stir.

* Step 4

Add the cheese and leave it to melt in. Set it aside off the heat.

* Step 5

Prepare three wide shallow dishes, one with flour, one with egg and one with breadcrumbs.

* Step 6

Put one turkey steak into a plastic bag and use a heavy implement (like a rolling pin) to gently flatten out it out to about half its thickness.

* Step 7

Take the turkey steak out of the bag and place it first in the flour, covering it lightly, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Move it to a baking sheet.

* Step 8

Repeat for all three steaks.

* Step 9

Heat the oil in two saute pans, one large, one small.

* Step 10

Fry turkey escalopes for 6-8 minutes each side on a medium heat. Be careful not to burn the breadcrumbs, and turn down the heat if this starts to happen.

* Step 11

When escalopes are cooked, move the pans off the heat and bring the cheddar sauce back to reheat on a medium low heat. You may need a few splashes of extra milk whisked into it to loosen it up again.

* Step 12

Serve escalopes alongside your favourite vegetables and some potatoes in the form that is most convenient and suited to your taste ;) Pour over cheddar sauce.
