Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey cutlets
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cups Dry white wine
- 0.75 cups Chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Capers, drained
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Season the turkey cutlets with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Place the flour in a shallow bowl and dredge each turkey cutlet in the flour, shaking off excess.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 4
Cook the turkey cutlets in batches, 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a plate covered with foil to keep warm.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 6
Deglaze the skillet with white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Step 7
Stir in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Return the turkey cutlets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let them simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes to warm through.
Step 9
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately. Pair with pasta, rice, or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
