Turkey Saltimbocca
Serves: 4 Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes
1 1/2 pounds turkey cutlets
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 T garlic powder
1/2 t ground black pepper
16 sage leaves, divided (8 minced, 8 whole)
8 slices thin prosciutto
3 T olive oil
1 cup dry white wine
1 large shallot, chopped fine
2 t lemon juice
3 T butter
1 T chopped parsley
Pat cutlets dry with paper towels. In a large bowl combine flour, garlic powder and pepper. Dredge turkey cutlets in flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Lay cutlets flat and sprinkle evenly with minced sage. Place 1 prosciutto slice on top of each cutlet.
Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add whole sage leaves and cook for about 15 to 20 seconds. Using slotted spoon, remove sage to paper towel-lined plate and set aside for garnish later. Add half of cutlets to pan, prosciutto-side down, and cook until light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook on other side until light golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and keep warm under some aluminum foil. Repeat with remaining cutlets.
Pour off excess fat from skillet, reserving about 1 Tablespoon. Add you shallots and cook until they begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Add in you wine to deglaze your pan being sure to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom. Simmer until reduced to about 1/3 cup, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in lemon juice. Turn heat to low and whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time. Off heat, stir in parsley and season with salt and pepper. Pour over turkey and top with fried sage leaves and extra parsley.
