Ingredients

• 2 pounds Turkey breast
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 0.5 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
• 1 teaspoons Fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 teaspoons Fresh oregano, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Capers, rinsed
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the turkey breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides evenly with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the turkey breasts for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, rosemary, oregano, and lemon juice. Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the capers. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then remove from heat.

Step 7

Nestle the seared turkey breasts back into the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the turkey reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the turkey rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve warm with the sauce spooned over the top, accompanied by a side of roasted vegetables or a light salad.
