Puffed Up Turkey Cutlets

turkeypuffs

This dish is simple in preparation yet complex in flavor.  The smokiness from the cinnamon, combined with the saltiness of the bacon and the sweetness of the honey balance each other out well.

  • 1 package of turkey scallopini style cutlets, (or you can buy regular turkey breasts and pound them yourself)
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 2 cups puffed wheat cereal
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • salt and pepper
  • honey for drizzling

Cook bacon, drain, crumble and set aside.

Wipe most of the fat out of the pan but reserve about 1 tbs of the drippings to cook the turkey in.

Place puffed wheat, cinnamon, salt and pepper in a baggie and pound with a meat mallet until it resembles a course meal.

Empty contents of baggie onto a large plate, bread cutlets in mixture and set aside for a few minutes to set up.

Cook cutlets over medium – high heat about 3 minutes per side.

To serve, drizzle with honey and top with crumbled bacon.
