Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey cutlets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Season the turkey cutlets on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the turkey cutlets to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the cutlets from the skillet and set aside on a plate, tented with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until they start to break down.
Stir in the capers and chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Allow the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes, reducing slightly.
Add the lemon juice and fresh parsley, stirring to combine.
Return the turkey cutlets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Cook for another 2 minutes to heat through.
Serve the turkey cutlets with the tomato caper sauce spooned generously over the top. Enjoy!
