Method
- 1
Coat the turkey. Beat the egg in a bowl. Put the flour on one plate with a pinch of salt, and mix the breadcrumbs with the almonds on another. Dust the escalope in flour, shake off the spare, dip it in the egg, then press it into the crumb mix so it is covered all over.
- 2
Fry. Warm the oil in a skillet over a fairly lively heat and lower the escalope in. Cook for 1–2 minutes, turn, and give it another 1–2 minutes, until the crust is golden and the turkey is cooked through.

Finish. Sit it on a bed of rocket, scatter over the parmesan and pomegranate seeds, and trickle with balsamic vinegar.
Storage
