This turkey piccata is delicious with mashed potatoes, or serve with lightly buttered angel hair pasta and a tossed salad.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 pounds turkey cutlets
  • salt and pepper
  • 4 tablespoons flour, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons softened butter, divided
  • 2/3 cup chicken broth
  • juice of 2 lemons
  • 2 tablespoons dry white wine or more chicken broth
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons drained capers
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Preparation:

Put turkey cutlets between sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to about 1/3-inch thickness.

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Put 3 tablespoons of flour in a plate. Dredge the turkey cutlets in the flour, then saute 2 to 3 cutlets for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining cutlets. Remove browned cutlets to a plate and keep warm.

Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and wine to the skillet and bring to a boil.

Stir 1 tablespoon of flour into the remaining 1 tablespoon of soft butter until smooth. Whisk into the broth and lemon juice mixture and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the capers and parsley. Pour over the turkey cutlets and serve immediately.
