Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey breast cutlets
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups Chicken stock
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Place the turkey breast cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them gently with a meat mallet until they are about 1/4-inch thick.
On a shallow plate, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each cutlet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Heat the olive oil and butter together in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and bubbly.
Add the turkey cutlets to the skillet (work in batches if needed) and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove cutlets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Lower the heat to medium and deglaze the skillet by adding the chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the turkey cutlets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them, and let them heat through for another 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Turkey Scaloppine with Dijon Sauce with a side of mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
