(Easy Turkey Recipes)

Asian Lettuce Wraps

In a medium bowl, combine shredded cabbage, vegetables, turkey and peanuts. Add stir fry sauce and honey. Toss gently and thoroughly to coat completely.

Fill each leaf with equal amounts cabbage mixture, about ½ cup per leaf.

Fold up bottom and two sides to form wraps. Tie closed with whole chives, if desired. Makes 4 servings.

Turkey Breast with Mustard – Sage crumbs

Preheat oven to 450*F. In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, sage, parsley, butter and ¼ teaspoon of salt.

Season the breast with the remaining ½ teaspoon salt and pepper. Set the breast in a roasting pan and then brush the top and sides of the breast with the mustard. Pat the seasoned bread crumbs onto the mustard.

Roast the breast for 20 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375*F and continue to roast the breast until just done, 15 to 20 minutes longer. Transfer the breast to a carving board and leave to rest in a warm spot for about 10 minutes. Cut the turkey breast into slices.

Fettuccine with Turkey and Brandied Mushrooms

In a large nonstick frying pan, heat the oil over moderately heat. Season the cutlets with ¼ teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Cook the cutlets until they are almost done, about 1 minute per side. Remove the cutlets from the pan, let cool, and then cut into thin strips.

Melt the butter in the same pan over moderate heat. Add the white part of the scallions, the mushrooms, ½ teaspoon of salt and the remaining ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms let off their liquid and it evaporates, about 5 minutes. Add the brandy and cook until almost no liquid remains in the pan, about 2 minutes more. Add ½ cup of broth and simmer until almost completely evaporated, about 4 minutes.

In a large pot of boiling, salt water, cook the fettuccine until almost done, about 7 minutes. Drain the pasta and then add it to the mushrooms. Add the remaining ½ cup broth, the cream, the scallion tops, the remaining ½ teaspoon salt and cutlets strips. Simmer until the strips is just done, about 1 minute longer. Top with the parsley.
