Turkey Scaloppini with Cranberry Sauce and Pistachios

Turkey scaloppini is boneless turkey breast that is sliced thinly and pounded. It’s a wonderful alternative to chicken breast, with fewer calories and less fat and cholesterol. The cranberry sauce is a great addition to turkey, especially during the fall and winter seasons.

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. 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.

2. Whisk together the egg and milk in a shallow dish or bowl. Place the breadcrumbs in another shallow dish or bowl.

3. 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.

4. Serve the sauce over the turkey scaloppini and garnish with the pistachios and parsley.
