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.

1 1/2 lbs turkey breast, raw, sliced 1/4 inch thick
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup chicken broth

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The turkey was tender and the sauce was flavorful. However, I found the recipe to be a bit too complicated. I think it could be simplified without sacrificing any of the flavor.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the sauce.

The turkey scallopini was a bit dry, but the sauce was very good. I would try this recipe again, but I would make sure to cook the turkey for less time.
