Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 whole (double) turkey breast (see note), including the wings, about 5 pounds; or 6 boneless turkey steaks; or 2 to 2 1/4 pounds of other turkey meat
2 ounces (1 can) flat anchovy fillets
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • To bone the turkey breast, first remove the wings at the joints; set them aside to use in another recipe. Pull off the skin and discard it or prepare it as crackling. Cut around the breastbone and remove the meat from each side in one large piece. Cut each piece lengthwise on a slant into 3 large steaks, each about 3/8 inch thick, and pound them lightly to make them equal in size. Set aside.
  • Drain the anchovies, reserving the oil. You should have about 2 tablespoons of oil. Chop the anchovies coarsely, and put them in a bowl. Toss with the lemon juice, and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
  • At cooking time, heat the butter and anchovy oil in one large skillet or two smaller ones. Sprinkle the cutlets with salt and pepper. When the butter and oil are hot, add the cutlets and saute for about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. They should still be pink inside.
  • Transfer the cutlets to an oven-proof tray and add the anchovy-lemon juice mixture to the juices in the skillets. Mix well and pour over the cutlets. Put in the oven for at least 15 minutes. At that point, if not serving immediately, reduce the heat to 170 to 180 degrees and serve within 30 to 40 minutes, garnished with the parsley.

I'm not a big fan of anchovies, but this dish surprised me. The anchovy flavor was subtle and not overpowering, and it really complemented the lemon and garlic.
