Ingredients

• 4 pieces Turkey cutlets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tablespoons Capers, drained
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season both sides of the turkey cutlets with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Dredge each cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess, and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter until the butter is melted and starts to sizzle.

Step 4

Add the turkey cutlets to the skillet in a single layer (work in batches if necessary) and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cooked cutlets to a clean plate and tent with foil to keep warm.

Step 5

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet, then stir in the lemon juice and capers. Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.

Step 7

Return the turkey cutlets to the skillet, turning to coat them in the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the turkey cutlets and spoon some of the sauce over the top.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnishing with lemon slices if desired.
