Turkey Cutlets with Lemon-Caper Sauce Recipe

Turkey Cutlets with Lemon-Caper Sauce Recipe

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 8 ounces turkey cutlets
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth (see Tips for Two)
  • 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
  1. Combine flour and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge turkey in the flour mixture. Reserve 2 teaspoons of the flour mixture.
  2. Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and cook until browned on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep it warm.
  3. Add onion, thyme and water to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the reserved flour mixture; stir to coat. Add broth and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Cook until the onion is softened, about 3 minutes. Add capers, lemon juice and parsley to the sauce. Return the turkey to the pan. Cook, turning once, until heated through, about 1 minute.
