A single turkey cutlet is seared in a skillet, then warmed in a quick onion and garlic gravy made in the same pan.

Ingredients

  • 1 (5-ounce) turkey breast cutlet
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter divided
  • ¼ cup chopped onions
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • ½ tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth

Directions

  • Pat the turkey dry and sprinkle both sides with the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a 10-inch skillet. Sear the cutlet for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until it reaches 165°F. Move it to a plate and cover it loosely.
  • Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the same skillet. Cook the onion and garlic for about 2 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly stir in the broth.
  • Simmer the gravy, stirring, for about 2 minutes, until it coats a spoon.
  • Return the turkey and any juices from the plate to the skillet. Lower the heat, cover, and warm it in the gravy for 2 minutes.
