Best Turkey Cutlets In Anchovy Butter Sauce Recipes

TURKEY CUTLETS IN ANCHOVY-LEMON SAUCE

Steps:

• To bone the turkey breast, first remove the wings at the joints; set them aside to use in another recipe. Pull off the skin and discard it or prepare it as crackling. Cut around the breastbone and remove the meat from each side in one large piece. Cut each piece lengthwise on a slant into 3 large steaks, each about 3/8 inch thick, and pound them lightly to make them equal in size. Set aside.
• Drain the anchovies, reserving the oil. You should have about 2 tablespoons of oil. Chop the anchovies coarsely, and put them in a bowl. Toss with the lemon juice, and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
• At cooking time, heat the butter and anchovy oil in one large skillet or two smaller ones. Sprinkle the cutlets with salt and pepper. When the butter and oil are hot, add the cutlets and saute for about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. They should still be pink inside.
• Transfer the cutlets to an oven-proof tray and add the anchovy-lemon juice mixture to the juices in the skillets. Mix well and pour over the cutlets. Put in the oven for at least 15 minutes. At that point, if not serving immediately, reduce the heat to 170 to 180 degrees and serve within 30 to 40 minutes, garnished with the parsley.

TURKEY CUTLETS IN ANCHOVY-BUTTER SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir together flour and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper on a plate. Pat cutlets dry, then dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
• Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté turkey in 2 batches, turning once, until golden and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate and keep warm, loosely covered with foil.
• Brown shallot in fat remaining in skillet, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Add wine and boil, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in anchovy paste, butter, and chives until incorporated. Return cutlets to skillet with any juices from plate and turn to coat.
