Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey breast cutlets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Sliced almonds
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the turkey breast cutlets with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
Dredge each cutlet in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the turkey cutlets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Transfer the cooked cutlets to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Allow it to melt.
Add the sliced almonds to the skillet and toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Add the lemon juice and let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Return the turkey cutlets to the skillet, spooning the almond sauce over them. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the dish before serving.
Serve the Turkey Almondine immediately, pairing it with your choice of side dishes like rice, steamed vegetables, or mashed potatoes.
