Classic veal tonnato is beyond my pocketbook reach, but I use turkey cutlets to make this affordable. It is dressy for company and the flavors are so wonderful. The Sauce alone is great on chicken or baked fish too.

Oh notcho, you know how I am "all about the sauce"! This sounds delish, and I like something to "perk up" the rather tasteless turkey cutlets. I think this will do perfectly!


Another great way to use Turkey fantastic thanks high5
