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.

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!

wow! I'm in an extended stay hotel and only have a stove and microwave. I found this recipe since I had already bought the turkey and was tired of the pasta I made with it. I didn't have basil but I can see how that would've made this that much better. I did go chunky with the sauce and had a couple croutons on the side (for crunch! Hotel living = not a lot of food on hand LOL Those croutons added this awesome "punch" : Can't wait to make this when I get home and have my herbs and spices :
