Turkey Scallopini With Lemon Caper Sauce image

Turkey breast cutlets (now conveniently available pre-cut at the local grocery) have a texture and flavor similar to veal (which I don't eat) and is more flavorful than chicken, but it works across the board, to your preference. Make extra sauce if you want to serve over pasta or rice: this is an amount sufficient for the scallopini. Adapted from a Craig Claiborn recipe. Can be made ahead and frozen, thaw/reheat to serve over freshly-prepared pasta or rice.

Yield 4 scallopini with sauce, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lbs turkey breast, raw, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup white wine

  • Transfer to a platter and keep warm, covered.
  • Dredge and sauté remaining turkey with the remaining oil in same manner.
  • Add another 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and cook garlic over moderate heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Don't overcook, or it will become bitter.

I had some trouble getting the sauce to thicken, but other than that, this recipe was great.

This dish was a little too tangy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.

I'm not a big fan of turkey, but this dish was surprisingly good. The sauce really made the dish.
