Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey breast cutlets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 6 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg, ground
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the turkey cutlets with salt and ground black pepper on both sides.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once hot, sear the turkey cutlets for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and stir in Parmesan cheese and ground nutmeg. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Return the seared turkey cutlets to the skillet, spooning some of the spinach cream sauce over the top. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to combine the flavors.
Transfer the turkey and sauce to an oven-safe baking dish if your skillet is not oven-safe.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the top of the turkey and sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve hot with your favorite side dish, like rice, potatoes, or crusty bread, to soak up the creamy sauce.
