Ingredients

• 4 pieces Turkey breast cutlets
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cups Dry white wine
• 1 cups Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Capers, drained
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Place the turkey breast cutlets between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each turkey cutlet in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess flour.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey cutlets in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Remove the cutlets from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the white wine. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 6

Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and capers to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to slightly reduce and thicken.

Step 7

Return the turkey cutlets to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Allow them to heat through for about 2 minutes.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Pair with a side of pasta, steamed vegetables, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
