If you're not keen on turkey, turn chicken breast fillets into crunchy golden schnitzels instead.

Ingredients
600g chat potatoes
400g frozen or podded peas
4 small turkey steaks or escalopes, or 2 large ones cut in half
4 tbsp plain flour
1 tbsp finely grated lemon zest
1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
sea salt and pepper
1 egg, beaten
150g coarse fresh or dry breadcrumbs
1 lemon, quartered
olive oil for frying

For the dressing
1 tbsp grain mustard
1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice

Method
Cut the potatoes in half and cook in simmering salted water for 15 minutes until tender, adding the peas for the last minute.

Flatten each turkey steak slightly with a meat mallet, and trim neatly.

Whisk the dressing ingredients in a bowl with sea salt and pepper.

Mix the flour, zest, parsley, salt and pepper on a flat plate. Coat each escalope in flour, then in the egg, and finally in the crumbs.

Serves 4
