4 servings Saltimbocca means “jump into the mouth,” which is precisely what these delicious stuffed and sauced cutlets do. Prosciutto and sage are the traditional stuffing, but a slice of cheese is often added as well. If desired, use chicken or turkey breast instead of veal.

Let's Cook

Step 1.
Pound to slightly less than ⅛ inch thick: 1 pound veal cutlets

Add the veal packets and cook, turning once, until lightly browned, about 1 ½ minutes on each side. Transfer to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Add to the hot skillet: ½ cup dry white wine
