Turkey Piccata

<<

Turkey Piccata is a delectable recipe that will impress family and friends, without too much stress involved. This recipe tastes best when cooked just prior to serving. Of course, you may substitute chicken or veal for the turkey meat.

Ingredients for Turkey Piccata:

• 6 to 8 boneless turkey (or chicken, veal) breasts, pounded to 1/4" thickness*
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. pepper
• 1/2 tsp. paprika
• 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
• 2 tbsp. pareve margarine
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1/4 cup chicken broth or white wine
• 3 tbsp. lemon juice (fresh is best)
• Zest of one lemon
• 2-3 tbsp. capers, if desired

Add chicken broth (or wine) and lemon juice to the skillet blending until heated. Return turkey to the skillet sprinkling lemon zest all over. As sauce thickens, add capers and serve over pasta. Garnish with lemon slices and a sprinkling of fresh herbs.

*To pound the turkey breasts, place between two sheets of waxed paper and pound with mallet or use a rolling pin - the paper helps to avoid sticking and makes clean-up easy!

Serves 6-8.

Note: Be careful not to let wine come into contact with heating elements - it can flare up.
