Greetings..Its Friday!!! Were going Southern today with a great recipe for your family….Enjoy!!!

Chicken-Fried Turkey Cutlets with Redeye Gravy:

Ingredients:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning or 1/4 teaspoon each dried thyme, sage and marjoram
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 large egg
1 large egg white
1 tablespoon water
1 1/2 cups fresh whole-wheat breadcrumbs (see Tip)
4 turkey breast cutlets (1-1 1/4 pounds)
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1 slice bacon, chopped
3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
1/2 cup brewed coffee
1/2 teaspoon sugar

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 200°F. Place a baking sheet in the oven.

2. Combine flour, poultry seasoning (or thyme, sage and marjoram) and cayenne in a shallow bowl; reserve 1 tablespoon of the mixture in a small bowl. Whisk egg, egg white and water in another shallow bowl. Place breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.

3. One at a time, dredge the turkey cutlets first in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in the egg mixture to coat. Coat on both sides with breadcrumbs, pressing to help the crumbs stick.

4. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, add half the cutlets and cook, turning once, until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the cutlets to the baking sheet in the oven. Return the pan to medium heat and repeat with the remaining oil and cutlets.

5. Add bacon to the pan and cook, stirring, until browned and crisp, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Sprinkle with the reserved 1 tablespoon seasoned flour and cook, stirring, 1 minute more. Stir in broth, coffee and sugar and cook, stirring, until thickened, 2 to 4 minutes more. Serve the cutlets with the gravy.

Tip: To make your own fresh breadcrumbs, trim crusts from whole-wheat bread. Tear bread into pieces and process in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. One slice of bread makes about 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs

After three days of controversy, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast-cancer charity says it is reversing its decision to cut breast-screening grants to Planned Parenthood.

“We want to apologize to the American public for recent decisions that cast doubt upon our commitment to our mission of saving women’s lives,” a Komen statement said.

As first reported by The Associated Press on Tuesday, Komen had adopted criteria excluding Planned Parenthood from grants because it was under government investigation, notably a probe launched in Congress at the urging of anti-abortion groups.

Joel Osteen, pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, has apparently stunned the world after being captured in a photograph on a beach in Hawaii wearing only his swim trunks, a hat and sunglasses.

The image, credited to Splash News, was first published online by celebrity news website TMZ in a report titled: “Good God, He’s RIPPED!!!”

The report, which shows the megachurch pastor holding a surfboard, uses a bit of tongue-in-cheek religious talk in presenting the photo of Osteen’s “shredded six-pack,” re-working Psalm 23 to read “the Lord is my personal trainer, I shall not want.” TMZ reveals that Osteen was on the beach spending time with his wife, Victoria, and their children, Jonathan and Alexandra.

“Besides being one of the most famous preachers in the world, Osteen is also a health nut … who dishes out diet advice on his web page. Judging by his sculpted physique, dude knows what he’s talking about,” the website reported.

After TMZ published the photo at 6:15 Thursday morning, other media outlets soon picked up on the story, also expressing shock that Pastor Osteen appeared in good shape.

Singer Mary J. Blige sat down with Wendy Williams today and discussed rumors about her marriage to manager, Kendu Isaacs, her drug and alcohol addictions and motherhood.

Wendy reveals that she too has suffered from addiction and asks the singer if she still struggles to stay sober.

“No, not at all. I don’t need alcohol to get me out of depression or get me out of a bad moment,” Blige says.

Blige adds that she became addicted to alcohol to replace her cocaine habit.

“My marriage is not on the rocks, but I would be a liar and my fans would hate me if I said to them ‘We’re perfect and everything is great.’

We have situations just like everyone else,” she admits.

Williams also asks Mary J. Blige if motherhood is in her future.

PBS kicks off its Black History Month programming this week with the premiere of “Daisy Bates: First Lady of Little Rock.”

The name Daisy Bates doesn’t ring a bell? The filmmaker, too, had no idea who she was when she first came across Bates’ story in the portrait book, “I Dream a World.” Published in the 1990s, the coffee table tome featured profiles of 75 outstanding African American women.

“It’s a fantastic book, but Daisy’s story is the one that I really connected to, and it jumped out at me because I didn’t know her story,” says Sharon La Cruise, the documentary’s director.

Daisy Bates was, in fact, the engine that drove the “Little Rock Nine.” The native of Huttig, Arkansas played a leading role in the desegregation of Little Rock Central High School in 1957, and her involvement came with as much pride as it did controversy.

Bates, who regularly wrote about violations of the Supreme Court’s desegregation laws in her husband’s newspaper, became the chief guide and adviser to the nine black students attempting to enroll at the all-white school.  But, as their story attracted more media interest, Bates found herself the de facto spokesperson for the effort on an international scale – which caused some folks in town to believe she was getting “too big for her britches,” as one person in the film put it.

Tony Cornelius, who worked alongside his father Don Cornelius on “Soul Train” and other shows, said his father placed a call to him on the day he died, reports CBS News.

Tony did not elaborate on the conversation, but said, “It was a call of urgency, and I came to his home immediately.”

Cornelius said his father was a private person and was “unhappy about some things” in his life. His father’s health, also, he said, was failing.

“My father was extremely private and unfortunately, when you’re a private person, you keep things inside,” Cornelius told Gayle King on “CBS This Morning.” “You know, it’s hard to imagine that you would — how you feel. You have to be in a person’s shoes really to understand. Obviously, me being extremely close to him, I could tell that he was uncomfortable. But our family could never know that he would — how uncomfortable he really was.”

Cornelius said his father would want to be remembered as someone who worked hard at being a professional.
