From Center, Colorado, Nancy Schmidt shares a flavorful way to dress up quick-cooking turkey breast slices. "You can really taste the walnuts in the crunchy golden coating," she assures.

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the walnuts, cheese, Italian seasoning and paprika. Add turkey, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat.
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown turkey in batches in butter for 3-4 minutes on each side or until no longer pink; remove and keep warm.

Okay, I didn't have ground walnuts so I used finely chopped walnuts, adding them to the sauce, plus I forgot to add the parmesan until the end. This may have rated a 4 if I'd done it properly. Not a bad recipe at all.

I used pecans instead of the walnuts. It was very good.
