Ingredients

  • 4 turkey escalopes
  • 4 tbsp plain flour
  • 1 tsp ground paprika
  • 1 tsp English mustard
  • 6 medium free-range eggs
  • 250g/9oz white breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • , for frying vegetable oil
  • 16 tinned anchovy fillets
  • 2 tbsp sherry vinegar
  • 170g/6oz unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp nonpareille capers
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Trim the turkey escalope and flatten using a meat hammer (alternatively place between two pieces of cling film and pound with a rolling pin).
  • In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, paprika, mustard powder, salt and pepper together. In a separate bowl, beat two of the eggs.
  • Pass the turkey escalopes through the flour mixture, dredge in beaten egg and coat in breadcrumbs, shaking off any excess at each stage.
  • Heat a little olive oil in a large frying pan. Fry the turkey presentation-side down first until golden-brown (you may need to do this in batches). Turn over and fry the other side until cooked through. Remove from the pan and drain on kitchen paper.
  • Heat a separate frying pan and fry the remaining eggs in vegetable oil until cooked to your liking.
  • Put the escalopes on serving plates, with the fried eggs on top. Arrange the anchovies around the plate.
  • Discard any excess fat from the frying pan and add the vinegar. Simmer until the volume of liquid has reduced by half. Shake in the butter and strain through a fine sieve into a clean pan. Add the capers and parsley. Pour the sauce over the eggs and serve immediately.
