Photo: Sauteed Turkey Cutlets with Avocado Sauce Recipe
Ingredients
For the sauce:
- 2 medium ripe Hass avocados (about 1 pound)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
For the turkey:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons lightly packed lemon zest
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 8 (4-ounce) turkey cutlets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium ripe Hass avocado
- 8 basil leaves for garnish
Directions
For the sauce: Combine all ingredients in a blender and process until smooth; set aside until ready to use. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water. (Can be made up to 1 day ahead and stored, covered tightly in a refrigerator until ready to use.)
For the turkey: Combine flour, zest, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag and mix thoroughly. Add half of cutlets and coat well. Remove, shaking off excess flour, and repeat with remaining cutlets.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. When it shimmers, add 2 to 3 cutlets and cook until browned, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining cutlets.
To serve, place turkey on platter, top with sauce, and garnish with a few slices of avocado and torn basil leaves.

Awesome recipe. Husband loves it. Kids love it. The sauce also is amazing on tons of other things. We love it on salmon burgers.

Turkey cutlets were way too much money at the store so I used chicken cutlets. I thought it had great flavor but there was just way too much lemon. I thought the lemon worked well but there was just way too much so next time I would only use 1/2 the zest and juice. I would also leave the salt out from the sauce because I thought it was a little too salty.

This was a pretty good dish! I was looking for something quick and easy...so, it definitely came through in that respect. Other reviewers mentioned that lemon didn't pair well with the flavor/avocado. So, I used lime instead and added a little bit of garlic powder to the sauce as well. Overall, I thought everything put together was tasty!
