Turkey Piccata

 

Turkey Piccata

All the flavor of this delicious Italian favorite without the butter!


(serves 4)

Ingredients:
  • 1 whole lemon
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 pounds turkey-breast cutlets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 fresh garlic cloves
  • 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons chopped, fresh parsley
Directions:

With a sharp knife, remove skin and white pith from lemon and discard. Working over a bowl, cut lemon segments from their surrounding skin. Chop segments and reserve with the juice.

In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt and pepper. Lightly dredge turkey cutlets in flour mixture, shaking off excess. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add turkey and cook until golden brown on the outside and no longer pink inside, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Transfer to a platter and keep warm. Add garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring for several seconds. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil, stirring and scraping up any browned bits. Cook for 1 minute. Stir in reserved lemon segments and juice, capers and sugar. Cook for 30 seconds.

Spoon sauce over turkey. Sprinkle with parsley and a grinding of black pepper.
