  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 large peppers (your choice of colours), cut into ½ inch strips
  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 1 x 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp tomato puree
Instructions
  1. Heat the oil and garlic in a non stick pan on a moderate heat and add the onions. Cover with a lid and let the onions and garlic sweat slowly for about 10 minutes - stirring occasionaly to make sure they don't burn or stick
  2. After 10 minutes, add the peppers and some black pepper and replace the lid and cook for about 5 more minutes
  3. then add the tomatoes and basil and turn up the heat to bring to the boil, adding the tomato puree and stirring all the time for a couple more minutes
  4. Then reduce the heat to the lowest setting, place the lid on and allow to cook slowly for about 30 minutes until the peppers are tender and the sauce is thick
  5. Meanwhile, make your turkey escalopes by:
  6. pre heat the oven to 190oC / 170oC (fan)
  7. place the flour (seasoned with black pepper) on one plate, the beaten eggs in a large bowl and the breadcrumbs mixed with the parsley, garlic and parmesan on another dinner plate
  8. then dip the turkey one at a time in to the flour, cover both sides the shake to remove the excess. Dip into the egg and then place on to the breadcrumb mixture to coat both sides and place on to some baking parchment.
  9. Heat some oil in a shallow frying pan - enough to line the bottom - and once hot flash fry each breaded escalope for about 2-3 minutes each side to brown both sides.
  10. Place each browned escalope onto a baking tray an place into the oven for about 20 minutes until cooked through, turning over half way into the cooking time
  11. You do not have to serve the slow cooked peppers with pasta, but if you decide to then cook enough pasta as required and serve with some garlic bread if you have some going out of date in your fridge!
