Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey cutlets
- 1 whole Lemon
- 6 leaves Fresh sage leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Place a piece of plastic wrap over each turkey cutlet and gently pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Cut the lemon in half and juice it into a small bowl, removing any seeds.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh sage leaves. Chop the parsley and set it aside for garnish.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each turkey cutlet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing the butter to melt and combine with the oil.
Place the turkey cutlets into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cutlets to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped sage. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it reduce slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the lemon zest and the remaining tablespoon of butter to finish the sauce. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
Return the turkey cutlets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them to reheat for 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the turkey cutlets to a serving platter, drizzle the sauce over the top, and garnish with chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
