This is a very simple, yet elegant dish. It is one of those dinners that appears as if you spent much more time making it than it actually takes!
- 1½# boneless, skinless turkey (or chicken) breast
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup flour
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- Juice of 2 lemons
- ½ cup dry white wine
- capers, if desired
Preheat oven to 200°
Pound turkey breasts lightly (I do it in between waxed paper)
Sprinkle each piece with salt and pepper; dredge lightly in flour
Heat olive oil and butter over med/high heat
When oil is hot, add floured turkey pieces, cook until lightly brown (about 2 minutes each side)
Transfer to a plate and put it in heated oven; repeat with the remaining pieces
In same pan, add lemon juice and stir with whisk; add white wine, stir with whisk
Continue cooking over med/high heat until sauce thickens up – about 10 minutes; add capers if using
Plate turkey and spoon sauce over each piece
Mangia bene!
