Home Cooking Extravaganza

Today we were lucky enough to have some of our favorite guests, Bethany and Hadley, join us for a rare Sunday "homecooking extravaganza." We had home fried turkey cutlets, green beans, homemade mac-n-cheese, and onion soup mix carrots. You can find the green bean and homemade mac-n-cheese recipe from my pre-Thanksgiving post, but the fried turkey cutlets and carrots turned out so yummy, I had to share!

Home Fried Turkey Cutlets
2 eggs
1/2 cup water
Lawry Seasoning Salt
3 cups all purpose flour
Canola Oil
1 to 1.3 pounds turkey breast cutlets

Beat two eggs with water in bowl unter well-beaten. Set aside.

Place 3 cups flour in a shallow baking dish. Add seasoning salt to taste (I add a fairly liberal amount, until you can see it incorporated into the flour when mixed). Stir together flour and seasoning salt with a fork.

Dip turkey cutlets, one at a time in egg mixture. Coat both sides, and then transfer to flour mixture. Make sure both sides are coated and place on a large platter. Repeat with remaining cutlets. Once all cutlets have been coated, dip each one in egg mixture again and then coat in flour again. Double-coating the skinless cutlets will assist in "crisping" up the finished product. Replace to platter, and place, uncovered in refrigerator for 30 minutes to rest.

When ready to cook, place enough oil in pan to come to the top of cutlets, but do not cover them. Heat oil on high until flour "crackles" when you drop it in. At this point, place 3-4 cutlets in the pan and brown on each side. Allow to cook until meat is cooked through (I usually test one piece with a small knife and fork). You may need to adjust heat downward slightly once cutlets are browned until they finish cooking. Repeat until all cutlets have been cooked. Allow to drain on clean platter covered with paper towels. Serve warm.

Onion Soup Mix Green Beans
1 bag baby carrots
1 packet Lipton onion soup mix
water to cover carrots in saucepan

Place carrots in saucepan, and cover with Lipton packet. Add water until carrots are covered.Place on stovetop on high heat and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to medium. Cook for 30-40 minutes, or until desired tenderness has been reached.

Enjoy!
