Yes, I went to Otto's Turkey Farm..... and their products look AWESOME! They had small samplings of their ground turkey, smoked turkey, Apple/Turkey sausages and many, many more!
Since I only cook for myself, I opted for a fresh, whole chicken which, I found out, comes from Otto's Chicken Farm (of course, a relative). But I'd heard so many good things about their chicken that I couldn't resist. It wasn't inexpensive - roughly 2 1/2 times the cost of a comparable whole fryer in my local market. But I know I'll get a few meals from it and I was anxious to taste the difference.
Meanwhile I had to go to market to pick up just a couple of things...... I found (in the closeout meat section) some thin-sliced pork cutlets. I've blogged about 'em before but these were dirt cheap so I couldn't resist. I've already trimmed, pounded and floured 'em. I'll do an egg wash then bread crumbs and then a quick fry in a hot skillet. Everyone has heard of Wiener Schnitzel (very thin veal, cooked similarly). There is a term (but I don't have the patience to look it up) for the same thing except made with PORK instead of VEAL. THAT'S what I'm making...... so (in deference to the Germans), I'm calling it "Oinken Schnitzel'....... I've already made scalloped potatoes with your basic cream sauce and some Gruyere cheese. Once that gets to temp, I'll saute the Oinken Schnitzel and have an AWESOME meal!
Stay tuned for the results of tomorrows 'Roasted Otto's Chicken'!!!!
