Ingredients
2 medium eggs
dash of milk
4 x 100g British turkey breast steaks
2 tbsp plain flour
10 tbsp dry breadcrumbs
25g unsalted butter
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large Bramley apple, skinned, cored and
cut into thin slices
225ml whipping cream
150ml chicken stock
150ml dry cider
dash lemon juice
50g flaked almonds, lightly toasted
salt & freshly milled black pepper
Method
Mix the milk and the eggs together in a bowl. Season the turkey steaks well then dust in the flour. Dip in the beaten egg and milk and into the breadcrumbs. Repeat this with the other 3 steaks, then chill well.
Place the cider and stock into a saucepan and bring to the boil, reduce by 2/3rds. Add the apples when the stock is nearly at the 2/3rds point and cook for 1 minute.
Add the cream and reboil until the sauce has thickened slightly, and the apples are cooked and keep their shape. Stir in the flaked almonds and lemon juice to taste. Keep warm on a low heat.
In a separate frying pan, heat the butter and oil until foaming and add the steaks. Cook for about 5 mins on each side, until nicely browned and golden.
Spoon the sauce on the plate and top with the cooked steaks.
