Ingredients

• 4 pieces Turkey breast steaks
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Start by patting the turkey breast steaks dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Rub the marinade mixture evenly over each turkey steak. Allow them to sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter.

Step 5

Once the butter is sizzling, add the marinated turkey steaks to the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

Step 6

Remove the turkey steaks from the skillet and set them aside to rest on a plate.

Step 7

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.

Step 8

Allow the broth to simmer and reduce slightly, then slowly stir in the heavy cream.

Step 9

Continue to cook the sauce until it thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 10

Return the turkey steaks to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.
