Recipe ingredients

1 3/4 lb (800 g) boneless turkey breasts*, each cut into 4 to 6 medallions
Sufficient quantity, all-purpose flour* for breading
Salt and pepper to taste
3 eggs*
1 1/4 cup (310 mL) fine, plain breadcrumbs
2 Tbsp. (30 mL) finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 oz. (60 g) pine nuts, lightly toasted and reduced to powder in a food processor
Sufficient quantity, vegetable oil* for cooking
Date butter
1/2 cup (125 mL) pitted dates
2 Tbsp. (30 mL) unsalted butter, softened
To taste salt and pepper
Chutney
4 cups (1 L) seedless blue grapes
3 Tbsp. (45 mL) sugar*
2 Tbsp. (30 mL) water
2 Tbsp. (30 mL) fresh lemon juice

Preparation

Date butter
Soak the dates in warm water for about 30 minutes to soften them nicely.

Mix the dates with the butter in a food processor and process until mixture is homogenous. Add salt and pepper.

On plastic wrap, place the date butter and roll into the shape of a sausage. Refrigerate and allow to get firm before using.

Scallops
Place each turkey medallion between two sheets of plastic wrap and with a pastry roller pound the meat to make scallops 2 in. (5 cm) thick. Set aside in a plastic wrap.

Pour the flour in a plate and season. Beat the eggs in a bowl. Put the breadcrumbs mixed with the rosemary and powdered pine nuts in another plate. Coat the scallops with flour, then with egg and finally the breadcrumb mix.

Repeat the egg and breadcrumb coating a second time to get a thick and crusty coating.

Grape chutney
To taste, peel the blue grapes or not.

Put all the chutney ingredients into a small casserole ; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 25 to 35 minutes or until the chutney has thickened. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely ; keep at room temperature to serve.

Cooking the scallop
Heat the oil to about 350°F (180°C) in a frying pan.

Cook the crumbed scallops for about 4 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and use paper towels to absorb the excess fat on the scallops.

Serve two scallops on a serving of chutney ; top each scallop with a 1/4 in (1 cm) thick round of date butter.
