8 slices parma ham
3 1/2 ounces turkey breast steaks quick cook
6 3/8 tablespoons Parmesan shavings, plus extra to garnish, optional
8 sage leaves plus extra lightly fried leaves to garnish, optional
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 5/16 cups red lentils rinsed
1 11/16 cups vegetable stock
1 bay leaf
1 1/4 cups shallots peeled and halved, larger ones quartered
3 tablespoons caster sugar
3 3/8 tablespoons vinegar
potato wedges to serve, optional

1
Place a slice of prosciutto on top of each piece of turkey, sprinkle with the Parmesan shavings and top with a sage leaf. Fold in half and secure with a toothpick.
2
Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a non-stick frying pan, cook the stuffed turkey for 6-7 mins each side until cooked through (you will need to do this in batches, adding more oil as necessary), remove and keep warm.
3
Cook the lentils in the stock with the bay leaf according to the package directions. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
4
Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a pan, add the shallots and fry for 1-2 mins. Add the sugar and cook, turning, until golden brown. Pour in the vinegar and 1/2 cup water and simmer for 5 mins. Serve the turkey with the lentils and shallots and garnish with the extra lightly fried sage leaves and Parmesan shavings (if using).
