This was lurking somewhere at the back of my head :). I have used turkey breast steaks, but if you find them hard to get, use pork, veal or chicken instead.

Steps

30 mins

1

Start by making the cheddar sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan, then mix in flour to make a roux.
2

Add milk a quarter cup at a time, mixing each one in thoroughly before adding the next.
3

Keep stirring until sauce is silky. Add mustard, white pepper and a pinch of salt. Stir.
4

Add the cheese and leave it to melt in. Set it aside off the heat.
5

Prepare three wide shallow dishes, one with flour, one with egg and one with breadcrumbs.
6

Put one turkey steak into a plastic bag and use a heavy implement (like a rolling pin) to gently flatten out it out to about half its thickness.
7

Take the turkey steak out of the bag and place it first in the flour, covering it lightly, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Move it to a baking sheet.
8

Repeat for all three steaks.
9

Heat the oil in two saute pans, one large, one small.
10

Fry turkey escalopes for 6-8 minutes each side on a medium heat. Be careful not to burn the breadcrumbs, and turn down the heat if this starts to happen.
11

When escalopes are cooked, move the pans off the heat and bring the cheddar sauce back to reheat on a medium low heat. You may need a few splashes of extra milk whisked into it to loosen it up again.
12

Serve escalopes alongside your favourite vegetables and some potatoes in the form that is most convenient and suited to your taste ;) Pour over cheddar sauce.
