TURKEY CUTLETS IN ANCHOVY-LEMON SAUCE



Turkey Cutlets in Anchovy-Lemon Sauce image

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     dinner, main course

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.

GARLICKY CHICKEN WITH LEMON-ANCHOVY SAUCE



Garlicky Chicken With Lemon-Anchovy Sauce image

There's nothing wrong with a dinner of pan-seared chicken seasoned with salt and pepper. But there's everything right about the same chicken when you add anchovies, capers, garlic and plenty of lemon to the pan. What was once timid and a little dull turns vibrant, tangy and impossible to stop eating. And the only real extra work is chopping the garlic and a little parsley for garnish. In this dish, the cut of chicken is less important than the pungent pan sauce. Most people will probably want to use the workhorse of all poultry dinners, the boneless, skinless breasts. But the thighs cook nearly as quickly, and have a greater margin of error in terms of doneness. Overcook your breasts by even a minute, and you'll get dry, tough meat. Thighs are more forgiving. However, if your family insists on white meat, you can substitute breasts and subtract about 3 minutes from the cooking time. There is no need to mention the anchovies until after people have complimented you on the meal.

Categories     dinner, quick, weeknight, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (4 to 5 thighs)
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
6 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
5 anchovy fillets
2 tablespoons drained capers, patted dry
1 large pinch chile flakes
1 lemon, halved
Fresh chopped parsley, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and let rest while you prepare the anchovy-garlic oil. Mince one of the garlic cloves and set it aside for later. In a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the 5 smashed whole garlic cloves, the anchovies, capers and chile. Let cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up the anchovies, until the garlic browns around the edges and the anchovies dissolve, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the chicken thighs and cook until nicely browned on one side, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the thighs, place the pan in the oven and cook another 5 to 10 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
  • When chicken is done, transfer thighs to a plate (be careful, as the pan handle will be hot). Place skillet back on the heat and add minced garlic and the juice of one lemon half. Cook for about 30 seconds, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Return chicken to the pan and cook it in the sauce for another 15 to 30 seconds.
  • Transfer everything to a serving platter. Squeeze the remaining lemon half over the chicken and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve.
