Saw somwthing interesting on a German cooking show today

The chef(in) was makign a dish with turkey breast. She took half a turkey breast, enough for about 4 people, turkeys tend to be much smaller here. She took the skin off, laid it flat on a cutting board pricked it all over then seasoned it, salt, pepper and I don't knwo what else. Then she took a sheet of parchment paper and cut it in half. Put one part into a skillet, laid the skin on it, then covered it wtih teh other part of the paper. Both trimmed in size so they would fit. Then she put a heavy pot on top of that and turned on the heat. Cooked until skin was nice and crisp. Drained it on paper towels then chopped it up for garnish on the prepared dish.

That is something I think I will try.

I like a little of it in crispy form but not a whole piece like would be on a chunk of chicken. As a garnish sounds good.

I can see where it'd be great for a garnish. May just have to try this the next time I get a turkey breast.
