Ingredients

• 1 lb Turkey tenderloin
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 0.25 cup White wine (optional)
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 2 tbsp Capers (drained)
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the turkey tenderloin crosswise into thin medallions, approximately 1/2 inch thick. If needed, use a meat mallet to gently pound each piece to 1/4 inch thickness.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each turkey slice in the flour mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Shake off excess flour.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Working in batches if necessary, add the turkey slices to the skillet in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter to the skillet. Once melted, pour in the chicken broth and white wine (if using). Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 6

Stir in the lemon juice and capers. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes, slightly reducing in volume.

Step 7

Return the turkey slices to the skillet, spooning the sauce over each piece. Let the turkey reheat in the sauce for 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Transfer the turkey scalloppine to a serving platter and pour the sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes such as pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables.
