Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large eggs
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
1 pound skinless turkey breast meat, sliced into five to six 1/4-inch-thick pieces and pounded a little thinner
Kosher salt
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 to 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons capers plus 2 tablespoons caper brine
Zest and juice of 1 large lemon
1/2 cup tightly packed fresh flat leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Fit a sheet tray with paper towels and a rack and set aside.
  • Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add a splash of cold water and whisk to blend. In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and cheese. Sprinkle the turkey slices on both sides with salt and dip each thoroughly in the eggs, then thoroughly in the breadcrumbs. Place the turkey cutlets in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter begins to froth. Add the turkey in a single layer and cook on the first side until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Gently turn on its second side and cook until cooked through, an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove with tongs to the rack to drain slightly. Repeat with the remaining turkey.
  • In the skillet where the turkey was cooked, add the capers, caper brine, lemon zest and juice. Simmer the sauce for 1 minute, stirring to catch all the bits of cooked meat and breadcrumbs. Remove to a bowl and add the parsley leaves, then spoon the sauce over the turkey.

Categories     Turkey Breasts

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2-2 lbs boneless turkey breast
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1/2 cup white wine
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon capers, drained and rinsed (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200°F.
  • Slice turkey across the grain into 1/2" slices. Place slices, one at a time, between sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper. Pound out until 1/8-1/4" thick. Repeat until all pieces are pounded. Sprinkle both sides of each piece with salt and pepper, then dredge both sides in flour; tap off excess flour.
  • Place olive oil and 4 tbsp butter in a 12" skillet over medium heat. (Non-stick will not yield a good sauce; stick to regular.) When foaming subsides, add turkey, being careful not to crowd the pan. Brown turkey on both sides, about 1 minute on each side; repeat with any remaining turkey. Transfer to an ovensafe plate and place in oven to stay warm.
  • Add shallots to pan and reduce heat to low; saute until shallots are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add wine and lemon juice and simmer 2-3 minutes, until slightly reduced. Add remaining butter (which should be cold) and whisk until sauce is glossy and slightly thickened. Adjust salt and pepper and stir in parsley (and capers if using). Pour over cutlets and serve.

BEAR'S EASY TURKEY PICCATA



Bear's Easy Turkey Piccata image

An easy version of piccata using turkey cutlets rather than the usual veal or chicken. If you are a fan of brining (as I am), brining the cutlets beforehand will make sure that the cutlets are well-seasoned, and helps to keep the moist and juicy. And although not traditional, a quarter to half a cup of heavy cream swirled into the sauce is a nice addition if you don't mind the extra calories.

Categories     Turkey Breasts

Time 25m

Yield 6 cutlets, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 turkey cutlets
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons canola oil or 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 3/4 cups low sodium chicken broth (or home-made)
2 tablespoons dry vermouth
1/2 cup lemon juice, freshly squeesed
2 tablespoons capers, drained but not rinsed
2 tablespoons butter, kept cold

Steps:

  • In a small jar, make a slurry of 1/4 c of the chicken stock and 2 T corn starch. Shake well, and set aside.
  • Place about a cup of corn starch in a pie plate or other shallow bowl. Dredge each turkey cutlet in the corn starch until completely coated. Shake off any excess.
  • Preheat oven to lowest temperature and put an oven-proof plate in it.
  • Coat bottom of a non-stick skillet with the oil and get it hot over medium to medium-high heat (depending upon your cooktop).
  • Sauté the turkey cutlets until nicely browned, about 4 minutes per side. Don't crowd the pan -- cook them in batches if necessary. Put cooked cutlets on warmed plate in oven.
  • Put the remaining 1 1/2 c chicken stock and vermouth in a saucier or sauce pan and bring to a boil. Add the capers.
  • Whisking rapidly, shake up the slurry jar to make sure everything's nice and mixed, and pour about 1/3 of the slurry into the broth. The sauce will thicken. Add another 1/3 of the slurry if necessary (most likely). The sauce needs to be nice and thick at this point as it is about to get cut with the lemon juice. Use the last 1/3 of the slurry if sauce hasn't thickened to the point where the bubbles will stack.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the lemon juice. Then whisk in each tablespoon of cold butter, one at a time.
  • Serve turkey cutlets with the sauce spooned over them.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 whole turkey breast, approximately 1 1/2 to 2 pounds
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
1/2 cup white wine
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Cut the turkey breast crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces. Place pieces of turkey, 1 at a time, between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Squirt the meat lightly with water and squirt the top of the plastic wrap as well. Pound to no less than 1/8 inch thickness.
  • Season both sides of meat with salt and pepper and then dredge in flour. Shake off the excess flour. Set aside.
  • In a large saute pan over medium to medium high heat, heat olive oil and 4 tablespoons butter. Once hot, but not yet smoking, brown turkey scaloppine quickly, about 1 minute on each side, and remove to an ovenproof platter. Place in oven to keep warm.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add the shallots to the pan. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes or until they begin to turn translucent. Add wine and lemon juice to the pan and simmer until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, if necessary. Pour sauce over turkey, sprinkle with parsley, and serve immediately.
