Ingredients

1 turkey tenderloin (1 lb)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons olive oil
12 thin asparagus spears
1/2 large red bell pepper, cut into thin strips and strips cut in half
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons cold firm butter, cut into 3 pieces
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

Cut turkey into 4 pieces. Place 1 piece, cut side up, between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper. Use flat side of meat mallet, pounder or rolling pin to gently pound each turkey piece to 1/4-inch thickness. Repeat with remaining turkey pieces.
Sprinkle turkey with salt and pepper. Place flour in shallow bowl. Coat turkey lightly with flour, dusting off excess.
In 10-inch skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high until shimmering and hot. Add turkey and cook about 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Flip and cook 1 minute longer. Remove turkey from skillet and place on plate. Cover tightly with foil.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and stir in asparagus and bell pepper. Sauté 1 minute. Add broth and heat to boiling. Boil uncovered 2 minutes. Stir in lemon peel and lemon juice. When liquid returns to boiling, remove from heat. Beat in butter, 1 piece at a time, with wire whisk, adding the next piece only after the first has been completely beaten in and melted. When all of the butter has been beaten in, stir in parsley.
Place 1 turkey piece on each serving plate. Use kitchen tongs to remove asparagus and pepper strips from sauce and place next to cutlet. Spoon sauce over turkey and vegetables.
