Turkey cutlets infused with aromatic garlic and fresh herbs make for a delightful, flavorful meal that’s both nutritious and easy to prepare. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. Follow along to make this delectable recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1-1/2 lbs. turkey breast cutlets, 1/2 inch sliced
- 1-1/2 cups chicken or turkey bone broth
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary, picked and chopped
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme, picked and chopped
- 3 sprigs oregano, picked and chopped
- Additional herbs for the sauce, if desired
- 2 Tbsps extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper, about 1/4 teaspoon each
Directions:
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
In a small mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chopped herbs, sea salt, and pepper. This mixture will serve as a flavorful marinade and rub for your turkey cutlets.
Step 2: Marinate the Turkey
Generously rub the garlic and herb mixture all over the turkey cutlets. Allow the turkey to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or for a more intense flavor, marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
Step 3: Sear the Cutlets
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is simmering, sear the marinated turkey cutlets on each side until they are golden brown. Be careful not to overcook them to retain their juiciness.
Step 4: Make the Sauce
After searing the cutlets, transfer them to a plate. In the same skillet, add the white wine and allow it to reduce, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spatula. This will add depth to your sauce.
Step 5: Simmer with Broth
Stir in the bone broth and let the mixture simmer until it is reduced and slightly thickened. You can add extra herbs at this stage if desired for additional flavor.
Step 6: Combine and Serve
Return the turkey cutlets to the skillet, coating them thoroughly with the sauce. Heat through, ensuring the cutlets are well-covered and warmed.
Serving
Serve the turkey cutlets hot, spooned generously with the sauce. This dish pairs well with a variety of sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
