An elegant, Italian classic
dish using lean turkey cutlets.
Turkey Piccata
with Lemon Caper Sauce
- 4 (4 to 6-ounce) fresh
boneless, skinless turkey breast cutlets
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove large garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 lemon, peeled and sectioned
1 tablespoon capers
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoons butter
- Place turkey breasts between
two sheets of plastic and pound to an even 1/2 inch thickness.
- Combine flour, salt and
pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge turkey in flour until evenly
coated; shake off any excess.
- Heat a large, nonstick
skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and heat until hot, but
not smoking. Sauté turkey until golden brown on both sides
and thoroughly cooked, about 8 minutes. Remove from pan and hold
warm.
- Add garlic to skillet
and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant, but not brown. Add
chicken broth and bring to a boil, scraping the bottom to remove
any browned bits. Stir in lemon sections, capers and sugar. Add
butter and gently swirl pan until melted. Taste for seasoning.
Serve immediately over turkey.
Makes 4 servings.
