Governor's Mansion Turkey Parmesan is a signature dish that has been served in the Arkansas Governor's Mansion for over 25 years. It's a unique and delicious take on the classic Italian dish, providing a lean protein alternative to traditional chicken parmesan. The dish combines crispy breaded turkey scallops with spaghetti or linguine and a vibrant marinara sauce, topped with melted mozzarella cheese and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. The perfect combination of textures and flavors makes this dish a winner for any occasion. The recipe may seem labor-intensive, but each step is easy to follow, and the end results are well worth the effort.

Instructions

1.Make a breading station by combining flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Beat eggs with milk in another shallow dish. Combine breadcrumbs, flax seed and oregano in a third shallow dish.
2.Dip turkey scallops in flour, then in egg mixture, then breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs to adhere well.
3.Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add breaded turkey scallops in a single layer and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, until nicely browned and cooked through.
4.Preheat the broiler. Spread cooked spaghetti or linguine on the bottom of a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Spoon marinara sauce over the spaghetti or linguine.
5.Arrange the scalloped turkey over the sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Place the sliced mozzarella cheese over the turkey. Broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
