Turkey with Sherry and Prosciutto
Cauliflower Gratin

Cooking time: 35 minutes for menu          Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

   This is a slight variation on the traditional 'Newburg' using dry, air-cured ham in place of bacon.  I think the ham adds more flavor and a subtle woodsy tone more complex than the bacon.

Turkey with Sherry and Prosciutto

Total time: 25 minutes
   Any cut of turkey breast will work for this. Or you could use chicken breast.  Amontillado is a semi-dry sherry, between 'fino' and 'cream'.  Use any sherry you have on hand.
