"It's time to do something new with turkey. It's not just a whole roasted bird with stuffing and gravy for Thanksgiving! Think of turkey as a great chicken substitute. After frying the chops, make some picatta sauce and drizzle it over the turkey. And the leftover chops can be used for sandwiches," shares Alex Guarnaschelli.
