Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey breast cutlets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 8 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cups Chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven's broiler to high and position the rack about 6 inches from the heating element.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Pat the turkey breast cutlets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides of each cutlet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season evenly with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Arrange the seasoned turkey cutlets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Set aside while preparing the spinach.
In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring until wilted. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes. Once all the spinach has wilted, pour in the chicken broth and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in the lemon juice, then remove the skillet from heat and cover to keep warm.
Place the turkey cutlets into the oven under the broiler. Broil for 5-6 minutes, then flip each cutlet over and broil for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the edges are golden brown.
Divide the cooked spinach among four plates, creating a bed for the turkey. Place a broiled turkey cutlet on top of each spinach bed.
Optionally, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese for added flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy this nutritious, hearty dish!
