Ingredients
- 4 pieces turkey breast cutlets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cup unsalted chicken broth
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Begin by placing the turkey breast cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound them gently using a meat mallet until they are about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, combine the flour and ground black pepper. Dredge each turkey cutlet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey cutlets to the skillet, cooking for approximately 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Transfer the cooked cutlets to a plate and keep them warm.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
Step 5
Pour in the unsalted chicken broth and lemon juice, using a spatula to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the fresh thyme, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
Step 6
Return the turkey cutlets to the skillet, allowing them to simmer in the sauce for about 2-3 minutes. This helps the flavors meld and the turkey absorb some of the sauce.
Step 7
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and lemon zest before serving. Serve the escalopes with your choice of side, such as steamed vegetables or a green salad, to complete the meal.
