This could be a tasty turkey cutlet recipe if you can find the right combination of spices to make up the “meat herb blend.” It’s a rather ambiguous notation, probably a reference to something Gram had in her spice rack. Perhaps you could herbes de Province or just a variety of meat herbs you personally enjoy.

Sauterne is a cooking wine that is potentially sweet and dry, made from a variety of grapes used to produce white wine. A Charles Shaw sauvingnon blanc is a good substitute if you can’t or don’t want to track down sauterne.

This entree would be nice with some rosemary red potatoes and brocollini.
