Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs (680 g) turkey breast cutlets, ½ inch sliced
- 1.5 cups (360 ml) chicken or turkey bone broth
- 0.5 cups (120 ml) white wine
- 2 tbsps (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary, picked and chopped
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme, picked and chopped
- 3 sprigs oregano, picked and chopped
- 0.25 tsp sea salt
- 0.25 tsp fresh ground black pepper
- Additional herbs for the sauce, if desired
Instructions
- Marinade Creation: Whisk garlic, olive oil, herbs, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until fully integrated, creating a robust flavor foundation.
- Turkey Preparation: Thoroughly coat turkey cutlets with the herb-infused marinade, ensuring complete surface coverage and maximum flavor absorption. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight.
- Searing Process: Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat with additional olive oil. Carefully place marinated cutlets into the hot pan, cooking until a golden-brown crust develops on both sides, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Sauce Development: Remove cutlets and deglaze the skillet with wine, scraping up caramelized bits. Add broth and simmer, reducing the liquid to create a rich, concentrated sauce. Optional: incorporate fresh herbs for enhanced depth.
- Final Assembly: Return turkey cutlets to the skillet, gently coating them in the reduced sauce to warm through and marry the flavors. Plate immediately, drizzling the aromatic sauce over the top, ready to serve.
Notes
- Marinate Wisely: Allow minimum 30 minutes or overnight for deeper, more complex flavor infusion into turkey cutlets.
- Heat Control Matters: Use medium-high heat to achieve golden-brown crust without drying out delicate turkey meat.
- Caramelization Technique: Scrape flavor-packed brown bits from skillet bottom when creating sauce to enhance overall dish richness.
- Serving Recommendation: Serve immediately after coating cutlets in sauce to maintain optimal temperature and moisture.
