Cook tender turkey cutlets in a single skillet and cover them with a rich, creamy garlic butter sauce for a fast weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 turkey cutlets (about 1.5 lbs total)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Season the turkey cutlets on both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey cutlets and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the turkey from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the broth simmer for 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  6. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and spinach to the sauce. Stir until the spinach wilts, about 1 minute.
  7. Return the cooked turkey cutlets to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the cutlets. Heat through for 1 minute.
  8. Serve immediately from the pan.

Notes

  • For the most tender cutlets, pound them to an even 1/4-inch thickness before seasoning.
  • You can substitute chicken cutlets for turkey in this recipe.
  • Serve this dish over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the extra sauce.
