Turkey Cutlets Marsala

This turkey Marsala utilizes dainty cutlets, making a moderately lean and delectable dish, and all that's needed is minutes to get ready and cook. The supper can be prepared (with a few fast heavenly messenger hair pasta and a serving of mixed greens) in less than 30 minutes, and there's tiny wreck.

Serve the turkey with a variety of vegetables or a salad for a light meal, or make a heartier dinner with angel hair pasta or roasted potatoes. 

RECIPES

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1 to 1 1/4 pounds turkey breast cutlets, about 6 thin or 4 thick cutlets

Kosher salt, to taste

Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots

8 ounces mushrooms, sliced, optional

2/3 cup dry Marsala wine

2/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth

PREPARATIONS

Step 1

* Gather the ingredients.

Step 2

*Put the flour in a wide shallow bowl.

Step 3

*Lay the cutlets out on a flat surface on waxed paper or parchment (less mess!) and season both sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. 

Step 4 

Coat the cutlets thoroughly with the flour.

Step 5

In a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. When the butter is hot and foaming, add the cutlets. Cook for 2 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate and set aside. If your cutlets are thin, you might have to do this in two batches.

Step 6

Add the chopped shallots to the sauté pan and cook stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms, if using, and continue cooking until the mushrooms are tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. 

Step 7

Add the Marsala wine and chicken broth to the pan; bring to a boil over high heat, scraping browned bits off of the bottom of the pan. Cook until the juices are reduced and thickened, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Add the turkey cutlets back to the pan. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes longer. 

Step 9

Serve with a salad and hot cooked angel hair pasta or thin spaghetti, or serve a side of roasted potatoes.
