- To prepare the sauce, whisk together the cranberry sauce, soy sauce, orange juice concentrate, sesame oil, lemon juice, brown sugar, cornstarch, garlic and ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 2 minutes or just until the cornstarch is dis¬solved and the sauce is slightly thickened. Keep warm.
- Whisk together the egg and milk in a shallow dish or bowl. Place the breadcrumbs in another shallow dish or bowl.
- Lightly coat a large, nonstick skillet with cooking spray, add the oil and set over medium-high heat. Dip the turkey scaloppini into the egg mixture, then into the breadcrumbs. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes per side or just until cooked through. Keep warm.
- Serve the sauce over the turkey scaloppini and garnish with the pistachios and parsley.
