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

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 turkey cutlets (about 1.5 lbs total)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Pat the turkey cutlets dry. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the turkey cutlets to the hot skillet in a single layer. 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.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the broth simmer and reduce slightly for 2 minutes.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.
  7. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  8. Return the turkey cutlets to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the cutlets.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth if preferred.
  • For a tangier sauce, add 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard with the heavy cream.
  • Serve this dish over rice, pasta, or with steamed vegetables to soak up the extra sauce.
