Ingredients

  • 250g new potatoes
  • 1 tbsp sunflower oil, plus 2 tsp
  • 1 medium British Blacktail Free Range Egg
  • 50g soft white breadcrumbs
  • 30g Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated
  • 300g pack essential British Turkey Breast Strips
  • 1 tsp wholegrain mustard, heaped
  • ¼ tsp clear honey
  • 6 beets from a jar of Baxters Baby Beetroot, plus 3 tbsp of the pickling liquor
  • 1 conference pear
  • 100g brussel sprouts, halved and shredded

Method

  1. Thickly slice the potatoes, then cook according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat ½ tbsp oil in a large nonstick frying pan, over a medium heat. Beat the egg and season. Mix the breadcrumbs and cheese in a shallow bowl or dish.

  2. Piece by piece, coat the turkey strips in the egg, then dip into the crumbs and put in the pan. Fry for 2 minutes on each side until crisp and golden with no pink meat and juices that run clear. Do this in 2 batches, for the second batch, add the remaining ½ tbsp oil and repeat.

  3. Whisk together the mustard, honey, 2 tsp oil and 3 tbsp liquor from the beetroot jar and season. Core and thinly slice the pear, then toss with the dressing, beetroot and sprouts. Serve with the turkey and potatoes.

Cook’s tip

This is a way of adding crunch and even more flavour to turkey. Try a winter Caesar salad by cooking turkey or chicken pieces this way, then tossing through torn kale, Caesar dressing and shavings of parmesan
