ingredients
1 pound turkey breast cutlets
2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
lemon slices for garnish
directions
Grease a skillet and place over medium-high heat. Season the turkey cutlets with the lemon pepper. Add the cutlets to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
Meanwhile, combine the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard in a bowl. Mix until smooth. Add the lemon juice mixture to the skillet. Spoon over the turkey cutlets.
Serve the turkey drizzled with the sauce and garnished with parsley and lemon slices.
recipe tips
If the cutlets are uneven, pound them to an even thickness for more even cooking.
For extra richness, add a splash of heavy cream or butter to the sauce.
Try different herbs and spices in the sauce to change up the flavor.
For a crispy exterior, dredge the turkey cutlets in flour or breadcrumbs before cooking.
Add a touch of honey or maple syrup to the sauce for a hint of sweetness.
Try adding capers or chopped olives to the sauce for a different flavor.
To keep the turkey cutlets warm while preparing the sauce, tent them with foil or keep them in a low oven.

I had turkey cutlets in my freezer that I had no idea what to do with. This recipe turned out great. Served it with a simple rice pilaf.
