Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Put the turkey slices on a flat surface and pound lightly with a flat mallet. Each should be about ¼-inch thick.

  2. Step 2

    Sprinkle the turkey pieces on both sides with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Dip the pieces in flour to coat well on both sides. Shake off excess.

  4. Step 4

    Preheat the broiler to high.

  5. Step 5

    Heat the oil and butter in a skillet and add the turkey pieces. Cook about 1 ½ minutes or until lightly browned on one side. Turn and cook about 2 minutes longer, turning the pieces occasionally. Scatter the shallots around the turkey pieces. Cook briefly and add the Marsala. Cook about 1 minute.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer the turkey pieces to a heatproof dish and pour the wine sauce over all. Cover each piece with a slice of prosciutto. Cover the prosciutto neatly with a slice of cheese.

  7. Step 7

    Place the covered turkey pieces under the broiler, about 3 inches from the source of heat. Cook until cheese melts, 45 seconds to 1 minute. Serve immediately.

Fairly easy and really good. Made half the recipe (for two). Might be a little more complicated for four, as would have to sauté the cutlets in two batches.

This is from an all time favorite cookbook. Have made this for years. You can use mozzarella as the cheese. Could also use chicken cutlets.
