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.

TURKEY SCALLOPINI WITH LEMON AND CAPERS



Turkey Scallopini With Lemon and Capers image

This is so delightful and really quite easy for such a deluxe taste. The cook time should be taken with a grain of salt as it will differ greatly depending on just how thick your cutlets actually are and whether you are browning and cooking the turkey cutlets on an electric or a gas stove [more time for electric, less for gas]. The amounts for the herbs and capers do not have to be precise; an approximation according to your likes works fine!

Tips:

  • To ensure the turkey scaloppini is tender and juicy, pound the turkey cutlets until they are about 1/4 inch thick. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming tough.
  • If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin or even a heavy skillet to pound the turkey cutlets.
  • To get a nice golden brown crust on the turkey scaloppini, be sure to sear it in a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Don't overcrowd the skillet, or the turkey will steam instead of sear.
  • Once the turkey scaloppini is seared, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook it for a few minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. Overcooking will make the turkey tough.
  • The capers and lemon sauce is a great way to add flavor and brightness to the turkey scaloppini. Be sure to use fresh lemon juice and capers for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have any capers on hand, you can substitute chopped olives or pickles.

Conclusion:

Turkey scaloppini is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is a great way to use up leftover turkey, but it can also be made with fresh turkey cutlets. The capers and lemon sauce add a bright and flavorful touch that makes this dish a winner. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
