Turkey Piccata

Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2004


Season both sides of meat with salt and pepper and then dredge in flour. Shake off the excess flour. Set
aside.

In a large saute pan over medium to medium high heat, heat olive oil and 4 tablespoons butter. Once hot, but
not yet smoking, brown turkey scaloppine quickly, about 1 minute on each side, and remove to an ovenproof
platter. Place in oven to keep warm.

Reduce the heat to low and add the shallots to the pan. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes or until they begin to turn
translucent. Add wine and lemon juice to the pan and simmer until slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Add
remaining 2 tablespoons butter and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, if necessary. Pour
sauce over turkey, sprinkle with parsley, and serve immediately.
