Ingredients

• 4 pieces Turkey cutlets
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cups Chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoons Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the flour on a plate and dredge the turkey cutlets in it, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey cutlets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 6

Stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest, then continue to simmer the sauce for another 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Step 7

Return the turkey cutlets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

Step 8

Garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley and serve the turkey cutlets with the lemon sauce drizzled on top.
