Turkey Piccata - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 turkey breast tenderloin (13 to 15 ounces)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons finely shredded lemon peel
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 cup sliced green onion
lemon peel strip (optional)
sliced green onion (optional)
thin lemon slice (optional)
Preparation
-
Split turkey breast tenderloin in half horizontally; cut each half in half crosswise to make 4 portions. Place one of the turkey portion between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, lightly pound turkey to about 3/8-inch thickness. Remove plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining turkey portions.
In a shallow dish, combine flour, 1/8 teaspoon of the salt, and the pepper. Coat each turkey portion with flour mixture, turning to coat evenly. Shake off excess flour mixture.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add turkey portions; cook about 6 minutes or until browned, turning once to brown evenly. Add broth, 2 teaspoons lemon peel, lemon juice, garlic, dry mustard, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt to skillet. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 10 minutes or until turkey is no longer pink and cooking liquid is slightly reduced. Add the 1/4 cup green onions. Cook for 2 minutes more. To serve, transfer turkey to serving plates. If desired, top with lemon peel strips, additional green onions, and lemon slices.
Serve with some of the cooking liquid.
