Turkey Cutlets With Lemon and Sage image

It is not without some trepidation that I post this recipe. Firstly, I make it all the time, and I don't know if our day-to-day meals can stand public scrutiny. Secondly, this is also our traditional Thanksgiving dinner. I don't know how it is with other American expatriates, but for me, especially in the beginning, Thanksgiving was the hardest day ... so many happy memories. But the old Gourmet came up with this recipe, and the introduction said something like: if you find yourself alone for Thanksgiving, enjoy the tranquility and make something simple but good. Or something like that. They suggested serving the turkey with dirty rice dressing and green beans with finely-chopped mushrooms. And even without the cranberries and pumpkin pie (ouch), eating turkey on Thanksgiving does make one feel better. So here it goes ... I hope it makes you feel better, too.

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dijon-style mustard
cayenne pepper or Tabasco sauce, to taste
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons crumbled dried sage
2 slices turkey breast, each slice 1/2-inch thick and weighing 6 ounces
lemon wedge
parsley

Steps:

  • For the marinade combine the lemon juice, mustard, and cayenne or Tabasco in a bowl.
  • Add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the marinade until it is emulsified. Stir in the sage.
  • Flatten the turkey slices to 1/4 inch between sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap with a mallet or rolling pin.
  • Place the turkey slices in a shallow glass dish, pour the marinade over them, and marinate, covered, for 25 minutes, turning once.
  • (Alternatively, you can flatten the slices after marinating them, but you may need to add a tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet when you cook them.).
  • Discard the marinade. In a large heavy skillet sautè the cutlets over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes per side, until cooked through.
  • Transfer the cutlets to a platter and garnish with the lemon wedges and parsley.

I'm trying to make this recipe ahead of time. Can I cook the turkey cutlets and sauce in advance and then reheat them later?

Can I use chicken cutlets instead of turkey cutlets?

I'm allergic to sage. Can I substitute another herb, like thyme or rosemary?

I thought the sauce was a bit too acidic. I would probably use less lemon juice next time.

The cooking time was too long and the turkey was overcooked. I suggest reducing the cooking time by a few minutes.

This recipe was too bland for my taste. I think it would have been better with some additional herbs and spices.

I followed the recipe exactly and the turkey came out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This dish was a nice change from the usual roasted turkey. The cutlets were cooked evenly and the sauce was delicious. I served it over rice and it was a perfect meal.

I'm not usually a fan of turkey, but this recipe changed my mind. The lemon and sage really brighten up the flavor of the turkey and make it incredibly tender. I'll definitely be making this again!

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out amazing. The turkey is always moist and flavorful, and the sauce is to die for. I love serving this dish with mashed potatoes and roasted vegetables.
