Steps:
- Turn the broiler to high and toast the bread on both sides. Butter the toasted bread liberally with softened butter. Switch oven to bake and preheat to 375 degrees F.
- Season the turkey cutlets with salt, pepper and 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning - just eyeball it. In a large skillet, brown turkey cutlets on each side over medium-high heat in 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Transfer the cutlets to a shallow baking dish and add 1 cup broth to keep meat moist. Transfer cutlets to oven, loosely tented with foil, to continue cooking through. To skillet that you browned the cutlets in, add 2 tablespoons butter and melt it over medium heat. Add flour to butter and cook a minute or two more. Whisk in about 2 cups turkey broth or chicken stock and allow it to thicken up, 5 minutes. Season the gravy with salt and pepper and poultry seasoning, to your taste.
- Preheat a second skillet, over medium high heat and 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan. Add chopped mushrooms and brown 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Season mushrooms with salt and pepper. Add celery, water chestnuts and bell pepper as you get them chopped. Continue to cook until veggies are all tender, another 5 minutes. Add scallions and herbs. Cut bread into cubes and add. Moisten stuffing with 1 cup broth or stock. Transfer to a serving dish. Use an ice cream scoop to portion out the stuffing at the table. Top mounds of stuffing with turkey cutlets and gravy, serve with sugar snap peas and brown rice or other vegetable side dishes of your choice.

Steps:
- To roast the chestnuts, cut an X on the flat side of each chestnut and bake 15 to 20 minutes at 190C oven. Let cool for 10 minutes and then peel and chop.
- In a large pot over low heat, heat the butter then add onions. Sauté for about 3 minutes or until soft. Meanwhile lightly grind sage, rosemary, thyme and pepper together.
- Stir in minced garlic, chestnuts, mushroom, herbs and spice mix and sauté for a further 4-5 minutes.
- Beat egg and milk together and pour over cubed bread.
- Drizzle bread with warm broth and toss to ensure even coverage.
- Toss through cooked mixture gentle with your hands to coat everything well.
- Set aside to cool.
- Spoon some stuffing loosely in neck cavity, pull neck skin over stuffing and fasten to turkey's back with a short skewer. Loosely spoon stuffing into body cavity, tuck the legs under the band of skin that crosses the tail or reset the legs into the leg clamp. Or tie the legs to the tail with kitchen string. Twist the wing tips under the back.
Tips:
- To tenderize the turkey cutlets, you can marinate them in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you don't have water chestnuts, you can substitute them with celery or jicama.
- To make the pan gravy, be sure to scrape up all the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. This will add flavor to the gravy.
- You can also add other vegetables to the stuffing, such as carrots, celery, or bell peppers.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to flatten the turkey cutlets.
Conclusion:
Turkey cutlets with mushroom and water chestnut stuffing is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion.
