Turkey Scallopini Recipe

As the weather warms up, we slow down on our use of the oven and look for fast easy stove top recipes.  We’ve had good luck using turkey breast thinly sliced into medallions as a cost efficient, family recipe.  We like to serve it with brown rice and a side dish of peas.

Turkey Scallopini Recipe

Serves 6

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• Salt and black pepper (1/2  tsp of each)
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 6 Turkey breast cutlets (approximately 3 oz each)
• 6 small scallions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1 lemon, thinly sliced
• 2 Tbsp chopped parsley (optional)

Directions

1. Put the flour on a plate and add salt and pepper; set aside.  Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Meanwhile, lightly coat both sides of the turkey with flour, salt and pepper mixture.  Shake off excess.
3. Place the turkey in the hot skillet, making sure there is space between each piece (you may have to do this in batches). Cook until both sides are lightly browned, turning after 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat, place in a pan and keep warm in the oven.
4. To the same skillet used to brown the turkey, add remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil, scallions and garlic.  Sauté until tender, about 2 minutes.
5. Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Stir over high heat until heated through, about 2 minutes. Add the turkey back to the pan and simmer until ready to serve.
6. Serve on a warm platter or individual plates and garnish with lemon slices and chopped parsley.
