TURKEY SCALLOPINI WITH LEMON CAPER SAUCE
Turkey breast cutlets (now conveniently available pre-cut at the local grocery) have a texture and flavor similar to veal (which I don't eat) and is more flavorful than chicken, but it works across the board, to your preference. Make extra sauce if you want to serve over pasta or rice: this is an amount sufficient for the scallopini. Adapted from a Craig Claiborn recipe. Can be made ahead and frozen, thaw/reheat to serve over freshly-prepared pasta or rice.

Steps:
- Rinse turkey and pat dry and season with salt and pepper.

- Transfer to a platter and keep warm, covered.
- Dredge and sauté remaining turkey with the remaining oil in same manner.
- Add another 1 tablespoon oil to skillet and cook garlic over moderate heat, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Don't overcook, or it will become bitter.
- Add broth and wine, and deglaze over moderately high heat.
- Saute until liquid is reduced to about 3/4 cup.
- Stir in lemon juice, capers, parsley (or basil), and salt and pepper to taste.
- Return turkey to skillet with any juices on platter and simmer until heated through, about 1 minute.
