Sage-focused recipes?

My favorite sage recipe is veal cutlets, dredged in flour, salt & pepper and then you stick whole sage leaves onto each side, maybe about 3 or 4, depending on the leaf size and fry. So good. Another great thing to do with sage is to open up the area between the skin and flesh of chicken or turkey and stick the leaves. As it cooks, it flavors the meat and becomes beautiful as you can see it through the skin. I usually do it for thanksgiving turkey but sage is good with poultry all year round. It is also a fantastic perennial herb, that really doesn't die all year round, even in New England. It flowers beautiful lavender flowers too. I often shake the snow off and find beautiful, live leaves ready for those winter suppers.
