Ingredients
- 8sliced turkey breast tenderloin steaks, about 1½ pounds total
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 2tablespoons olive oil
- 2tablespoons butter
- 4whole garlic cloves unpeeled
- 1large bay leaf
- 4sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
- ⅓cup dry white wine
- ⅓cup fresh chicken broth or canned
- 2tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Preparation
- Step 1
Place each turkey breast steak between sheets of clear plastic wrap and pound lightly and evenly with a meat pounder or flat mallet to make the slices about ¼-inch thick.
- Step 2
Sprinkle the sliced turkey with salt and pepper.
- Step 3
Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet large enough to hold the turkey in one layer, or use two smaller pans. Add the sliced turkey and the garlic, bay leaf and thyme. Cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, turning the pieces until lightly browned on both sides. Do not overcook.
- Step 4
Remove the turkey slices to a warm platter. Leave the garlic, bay leaf and thyme in the pan. Add the wine to the skillet and cook over high heat, stirring to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the skillet. Cook until it is reduced by half. Add the chicken broth and boil briskly until reduced by half.
- Step 5
Swirl in the remaining butter and the parsley. Add the turkey slices and any juices that have accumulated around it, and reheat the turkey through. Remove bay leaf, and serve with the garlic cloves and the sauce.

My fiancé and I were doing a low-key Thanksgiving this year, focusing more on sides we like, and eating at lunchtime rather than a big turkey dinner, and we had some turkey breast cutlets from Trader Joe’s around and this absolutely hit the spot. The sauce is great, the turkey is tender, the squishy garlic that gets leftover is wonderful. Just an absolute hit. Thank you! (I accidentally used too much chicken broth but it didn’t really matter!)
This was easy, quick, delicious. My kids loved it and came back for seconds and thirds. We will make this again. :-).
Thanks!
My 91 yr old mom liked this recipe. I'll be making it again!
