  • Tenderize the turkey: To make the turkey even more tender, you can pound it with a meat mallet before cooking. This will help to break down the muscle fibers and make the turkey more receptive to the marinade.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the turkey its flavor, so make sure to use a flavorful one. A good option is a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs.
  • Cook the turkey over medium heat: Cooking the turkey over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out. Be sure to cook the turkey until it is cooked through, but not overcooked.
  • Serve the turkey with a flavorful sauce: A flavorful sauce will help to take the turkey piccata to the next level. A good option is a lemon-butter sauce or a white wine sauce.
