Easy Saltimbocca

I just love this!

What you'll need:

4 turkey fillets or 4 veal escalopes
3 oz parma or prosciutto
bunch of sage leaves
1 tbsp olive oil
1 finely chopped onion
3/4 C white wine
3/4 C chicken stock

Assembly, let's do this in parts:

A. Pound the meat (escalope) to thin even slices and cut in half

B. Trim the parma ( I call it parma, easier to spell...) to fit the size of the meat and place over the meat. Lay a sage leaf on top. Roll up the escalopes and secure with a toothpick.

C. Heat oil in a skillet and saute the onion 3-4 minutes. Add the meat and cook for 5 minutes until brown all over. Pour in the wine and stock, simmer for 15 minutes (turkey), 20 minutes (veal) or until tender. Serve immediately.

Note: if you use turkey, keep a sharp eye out for the meat drying out.

I like to serve this with steamed green beans with almonds and baby corn. Simple and delicious.
