Dinner In A Pinch Recipes

WONTON SOUP DINNER

Steps:

• In a medium pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger and white parts of the scallions and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the shiitakes and cook until they begin to soften, another minute.
• Add the bone broth and bring to a boil. Add the bok choy and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the bok choy is tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the soy sauce and stir. Add the wontons and cook until they are cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and season if necessary.
• Ladle into bowls, then top with the scallion greens. Serve immediately.

TURKEY BREAST PICCATA

Steps:

• Fit a sheet tray with paper towels and a rack and set aside.
• Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add a splash of cold water and whisk to blend. In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and cheese. Sprinkle the turkey slices on both sides with salt and dip each thoroughly in the eggs, then thoroughly in the breadcrumbs. Place the turkey cutlets in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter begins to froth. Add the turkey in a single layer and cook on the first side until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Gently turn on its second side and cook until cooked through, an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with tongs to the rack to drain slightly. Repeat with the remaining turkey.
• In the skillet where the turkey was cooked, add the capers, caper brine, lemon zest and juice. Simmer the sauce for 1 minute, stirring to catch all the bits of cooked meat and breadcrumbs. Remove to a bowl and add the parsley leaves, then spoon the sauce over the turkey.
