Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey steaks
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 6 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 pieces Pear, ripe but firm, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Season the turkey steaks on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey steaks and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside, covering lightly with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. Stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring frequently, until all the spinach is just wilted. Remove the spinach from the heat and set aside.
In a separate small pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the pear slices and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly golden and caramelized. Drizzle the pears with honey and lemon juice and toss gently to coat.
To serve, place a bed of wilted spinach on each plate. Lay a turkey steak on top, then add a few slices of caramelized pears. Sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese and a garnish of chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your elegant turkey steak dish!
