Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey cutlets
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Season the turkey cutlets with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the flour on a plate and dredge the turkey cutlets in it, shaking off any excess.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey cutlets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest, then continue to simmer the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Return the turkey cutlets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve the turkey cutlets with the lemon sauce drizzled on top.
