Categories     main-dish

Time 3h30m

Yield about 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Two 2- to 2 1/2-pound boneless, skin-on turkey breasts, rinsed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
3 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more for garnish, optional
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, plus more for garnish, optional
10 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup white wine
2 cups turkey stock
1 tablespoon small capers in brine, rinsed
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced, plus sprigs for garnish, optional
Zest of 1 lemon
1 shallot, minced

Steps:

  • Let the turkey breasts stand at room temperature for 1 hour prior to cooking.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Fit a baking sheet with a wire rack.
  • Pat the turkey breasts dry and season heavily with salt and pepper all over. Put the olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Sear the breasts skin-side down until light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip the breasts over and add the garlic, thyme, rosemary and 4 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet. Once the butter has melted, use a spoon to baste the turkey breasts with the herb and garlic infused butter for 30 seconds.
  • Transfer the breasts to the rack on the baking sheet, pour the butter and herb mixture over the breasts and cook, basting every 15 minutes, until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the breast reaches 160 degrees F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Transfer to a cutting board, tent with aluminum foil and rest for 15 minutes.
  • Deglaze the skillet that the breasts were seared in with the white wine over medium-high heat, then reduce until almost dry, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the turkey stock and reduce by 90 percent, another 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the remaining 6 tablespoons butter, keeping the mixture creamy and emulsified. Once all the butter is incorporated, add the capers, parsley, lemon zest and shallot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Slice the turkey and transfer it to a platter. Pour some sauce over the slices and serve the rest of the sauce on the side. Garnish with fresh herb sprigs if desired.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, free-range turkey, organic lemons, and capers will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the turkey, make sure to give it enough space in the pan so that it can brown properly. If the pan is too crowded, the turkey will steam instead of brown.
  • Cook the turkey until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the turkey has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest: Fresh lemon juice and zest will add a bright, citrusy flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but be sure to use good-quality juice.
  • Add the capers at the end of cooking: Capers are salty and briny, so they should be added at the end of cooking so that they don't overpower the other flavors in the dish.

Conclusion:

Sautéed turkey with lemon and capers is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy turkey, and it is sure to become a family favorite. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, or rice.
