Ingredients

For turkey cutlets

3/4 pound turkey cutlets (about 1/4-inch thick)
all-purpose flour seasoned with salt and pepper for dredging
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

For salad

1 bunch watercress, coarse stems discarded and leaves washed well and spun dry
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup fine fresh bread crumbs
Accompaniment: lemon wedges

Preparation

  1. Make turkey cutlets:

    Step 1

    Pat turkey dry and spread seasoned flour on a plate. In a small shallow bowl beat eggs lightly and in another small shallow bowl stir together bread crumbs and Parmesan.

    Step 2

    Dredge cutlets in flour, shaking off excess, and dip in egg, letting excess drip off. Coat cutlets with bread crumb mixture and put on a wax-paper-lined tray.Chill cutlets 15 minutes.

    Step 3

    In a 12-inch non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté cutlets 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side, or until golden and just cooked through. Remove skillet from heat.

  2. Make salad:

    Step 4

    In a bowl combine watercress and onion and drizzle with oil, tossing to coat. Add lemon juice and salt and toss well.

  3. Step 5

    Transfer cutlets with a slotted spatula to paper towels to drain briefly and arrange on plates. Top cutlets with salad and serve with lemon wedges.
