Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey chops
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Pat the turkey chops dry with paper towels and place them on a plate.
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the turkey chops.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the turkey chops in the skillet. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Sear the turkey chops for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the butter to the skillet, and let it melt.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
Spoon the melted butter and garlic over the turkey chops as they cook to enhance the flavor.
Check the internal temperature of the chops with a meat thermometer. They should reach 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked through, remove the turkey chops from the skillet and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the chops and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
