Turkey Milanese with Bacon and Pancetta Potatoes

Another win with these recipes! First is the main course: Turkey Milanese: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/turkey-milanese-recipe/index.html Gorgeous:

I would have taken more/better shots but I was hungry! This recipe is pretty simple. The turkey (the healthiest part of this meal) is breaded and fried and then put on a bead of baby arugula and cherry tomatoes (which I did eat)! It was soooooo yummy that there was none left over!

Tip: Easier and faster to buy turkey cutlets prepackaged from the store (Jenny-O, I think that's that brand, was available at my tom-thumb) rather than buying turkey breast and pounding it out!

Now for the side dish..... Bacon and Pancetta Potatoes......mmmmmmmmmmm! http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/bacon-and-pancetta-potatoes-recipe/index.html

Crappy picture of this awesomeness:

I have to admit, I get really impatient with potatoes. They take forever to cook! And they have to be cut and yada, yada, yada. But I probably would have eaten that whole bowl if I weren't eating with others! I started the potatoes before I started the turkey milanese and I was still waiting on them to finish! So the lesson is be patient with your potatoes.

So all in all this meal was actually simple. So simple that I didn't have to start cooking until 45 minutes until eating time! Impress your guest with this simple and fabulous meal!
