  1. To prepare Lemon Turkey Escalopes first cut the slices of turkey rump into smaller steaks about 3 fingers on each side, then lightly flour them and brown them in a pan with the knob of butter and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Cook the cutlets for about 3-4 minutes per side.
  2. When they are browned, remove the escalopes from the pan and remove the fat from the pan using paper towels. Arrange the escalopes back in the pan and deglaze with white wine and lemon juice.
  3. Continue cooking for a few minutes over medium heat until the cooking juices have thickened. Adjust the salt and finish your Lemon Turkey Cutlets with the chopped herbs and serve piping hot!

Variations and Alternatives

You can replace the fresh herb mixture with your favorite herbs, such as sage, thyme or rosemary. If you wish, you can follow the same recipe by using, instead of turkey rump, chicken breast, pork loin, or slices of veal or beef.

Tips

If you want your Turkey Escalopes to be thinner and more tender, place them between two sheets of baking paper and beat them gently with a meat tenderizer.
