Ingredients

12 ounces broccolini

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

1 lemon, halved (1/2 thinly sliced, 1/2 juiced)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

4 cups sliced cremini mushrooms (about 12 ounces)

1 1/4 pounds turkey breast cutlets, trimmed

1 cup all-purpose flour

2/3 cup dry Marsala wine

2/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Preheat the broiler. Toss the broccolini with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper on a baking sheet; add the lemon slices. Broil until the broccolini is tender and just starting to char, 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside and cover to keep warm.
  2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon butter and the garlic in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until browned and the liquid is evaporated, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  3. Pound the turkey to an even thickness using a heavy skillet, if needed. Mix the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge the turkey in the flour. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the turkey and cook until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and turkey; transfer to the plate.
  4. Increase the heat to high. Add the wine and cook until reduced by half, 2 minutes. Add the broth and cook until reduced by half, 4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Spoon the sauce over the turkey; serve with the broccolini.

We loved this!  Like user Kristen B. below me, we too added more garlic cloves (doubled the amount).  We broiled for about four minutes on the middle rack of the oven (so further away from the broiler) and then for about 2 minutes directly under the broiler.  The broccolini came out tender and perfectly charred, not burnt.  I enjoyed the hint of sweetness the Marsala wine gave to the turkey, which came out juicy and delicious.  My five year old ate the entire meal two nights in a row for dinner.  Win, win!
