Turkey Cutlets with Tomatoes and Capers

Lower in saturated fat than chicken, turkey provides one of the leanest sources of animal protein. The nutrient-dense poultry also contains heart-healthy B vitamins and selenium. Round out this simple preparation with a side of steamed green beans.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

4 turkey cutlets (about 4 ounces each)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons neutral-tasting oil, such as canola or safflower
1 1/2 cups diced tomato (1 large)
12 caper berries or 1/4 cup capers, rinsed and drained

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Pat dry cutlets with paper towels and season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt, dividing evenly, and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high until shimmering. Add 2 cutlets, and cook until golden brown on bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until other side is golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Transfer cutlets to plates; reduce heat to medium, and repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 2 cutlets.

    Step 2

    Add tomato to hot skillet. Cook, stirring, until juicy and just softened, about 2 minutes. Add caper berries, and stir to warm through; spoon mixture over turkey, dividing evenly, and serve.
