BC Turkey Breast Scallopini

  • 600 g BC Turkey breast scallopini ask your butcher to cut them for you, or you can buy a turkey breast and slice it thin
  • 1 tbsp WhoaNelly’s beef tallow
  • Salt and pepper to season all Turkey

Instructions
 

Roast the potatoes

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F
  • Melt the tallow in a cast iron pan on medium/high heat and place the potatoes cut side down in the pan
  • Season the potatoes with salt
  • Place the pan in the oven and cook the potatoes for about 25-30 min. Do not flip or move the pan

Make the salsa verde & the cabbage slaw

  • Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure the cabbage is evenly marinated.

Cook the Turkey

  • Season both sides of the turkey with salt and pepper
  • Place the beef tallow in a cast iron or heavy-bottomed frying pan and melt on medium/high heat
  • Once hot, sear the turkey in the pan with the tallow for about 2 minutes per side. Depending on the thickness of your scallopini, you may need to go longer. The internal temperature should be about 150-155°F and then allowed to rest for about 3 min
  • Alternatively, you can cut one of them in half and check that the turkey is cooked all the way through

Finish

  • Place the potatoes and cabbage slaw on either side of the plate, then arrange the cooked BC Turkey Scallopini over top
  • Spoon the sauce over the turkey and potatoes, then serve and enjoy
