Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces turkey breast fillets
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Pound the turkey breast fillets to about 1/2 inch thickness to ensure even cooking.
In a shallow dish, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, and half of the parsley. Add the turkey fillets to the marinade, turning to coat. Let them sit for at least 10 minutes.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the turkey fillets from the marinade and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Dredge each fillet lightly in flour, shaking off the excess.
Add the turkey to the preheated skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the turkey escalopes from the skillet and set aside on a warm plate.
In the same skillet, pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Add the lemon zest and let the broth mixture simmer for about 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.
Return the turkey escalopes to the skillet, coat them with the sauce, and sprinkle the remaining parsley over the top.
Serve immediately, drizzled with the pan sauce. Enjoy your low fat Escalope de Dinde!
