Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Turkey breast cutlets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Pound the turkey breast cutlets to an even thickness if needed, then sprinkle both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the turkey cutlets to the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the turkey and set aside on a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
Add the thinly sliced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 4–5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the chicken broth, fresh lemon juice, honey, and Dijon mustard while scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add this to the skillet and stir until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes.
Return the cooked turkey cutlets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the top. Let simmer for 2–3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving.
Serve the Tangy Turkey Saute with rice, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
