Number of Servings: 4

Ingredients

    4 slices boneless skinless turkey breast - sliced thin (if you can get it pre-cut into scallopini, that's my favourite) (approx. 1-1.5 oz per slice)
    4 slices thinly sliced prosciutto ham
    4 slices hot capicolli
    16 leaves fresh basil or 8 leaves fresh sage
    2 tbsp butter
    2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    1/2 c cooking sherry or red wine
    2 tbsp capers (optional)
    Fresh ground sea salt and pepper

Tips

This is really good served on a bed of slightly wilted spinach or a turnip puree.
If serving on turnip puree, I will make a spinach salad to accompany the dish.


Directions

Layer each slice of turkey with 4 leaves of basil or 2 leaves of sage
Season with salt & pepper
Top with 1 slice of capicolla and 1 slice of prosciutto
Heat 1 tbsp of butter and 1 tbsp of olive oil in pan at med heat
When butter/olive oil mixture is hot and starting to bubble, place turkey into pan (turkey side down)
Cook turkey for 3-4 minutes each side (turkey is very thin and will cook quickly)
Remove turkey from pan and place in oven to keep warm
Leave drippings in the pan
Add sliced mushrooms & onions to pan; saute until cooked
Add remaining butter and sherry/red wine to the pan
increase heat to high, stir frequently until it reduces (5-8 minutes)
Take off heat
Add capers

Serve Turkey with prosciutto side up, top with about 1 tbsp of sauce
