TURKEY BREAST WITH LEMON AND CAPER SAUCE



Turkey Breast with Lemon and Caper Sauce image

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h30m

Yield about 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Two 2- to 2 1/2-pound boneless, skin-on turkey breasts, rinsed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
3 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more for garnish, optional
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, plus more for garnish, optional
10 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup white wine
2 cups turkey stock
1 tablespoon small capers in brine, rinsed
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced, plus sprigs for garnish, optional
Zest of 1 lemon
1 shallot, minced

Steps:

  • Let the turkey breasts stand at room temperature for 1 hour prior to cooking.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Fit a baking sheet with a wire rack.
  • Pat the turkey breasts dry and season heavily with salt and pepper all over. Put the olive oil in a large skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Sear the breasts skin-side down until light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Flip the breasts over and add the garlic, thyme, rosemary and 4 tablespoons of the butter to the skillet. Once the butter has melted, use a spoon to baste the turkey breasts with the herb and garlic infused butter for 30 seconds.
  • Transfer the breasts to the rack on the baking sheet, pour the butter and herb mixture over the breasts and cook, basting every 15 minutes, until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the breast reaches 160 degrees F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Transfer to a cutting board, tent with aluminum foil and rest for 15 minutes.
  • Deglaze the skillet that the breasts were seared in with the white wine over medium-high heat, then reduce until almost dry, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the turkey stock and reduce by 90 percent, another 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the remaining 6 tablespoons butter, keeping the mixture creamy and emulsified. Once all the butter is incorporated, add the capers, parsley, lemon zest and shallot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Slice the turkey and transfer it to a platter. Pour some sauce over the slices and serve the rest of the sauce on the side. Garnish with fresh herb sprigs if desired.

TURKEY CUTLETS IN ANCHOVY-LEMON SAUCE



Turkey Cutlets in Anchovy-Lemon Sauce image

Provided by Jacques Pepin

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 whole (double) turkey breast (see note), including the wings, about 5 pounds; or 6 boneless turkey steaks; or 2 to 2 1/4 pounds of other turkey meat
2 ounces (1 can) flat anchovy fillets
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

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 SCALLOPINI WITH LEMON CAPER SAUCE



Turkey Scallopini With Lemon Caper Sauce image

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.

  • Season the cutlets well: Before cooking, season the cutlets with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Cook the cutlets over medium heat: Cooking the cutlets over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out. Be sure to cook them until they are cooked through, but not overcooked.
  • Make the lemon-caper sauce while the cutlets are cooking: This will allow the flavors of the sauce to meld together. Be sure to use fresh lemon juice and capers for the best flavor.
  • Serve the cutlets immediately with the lemon-caper sauce: This dish is best served hot, so be sure to serve it immediately after cooking.

Conclusion:

Turkey cutlets with lemon-caper sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The cutlets are juicy and flavorful, and the lemon-caper sauce is tangy and bright. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
