Sliced Turkey Breasts With Herbs
- 8 sliced turkey breast tenderloin steaks, about 1 1/2 pounds total
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 whole garlic cloves unpeeled
- 1 large bay leaf
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
- 13 cup dry white wine
- 13 cup fresh chicken broth or canned
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
- Place each turkey breast steak between sheets of clear plastic wrap and pound lightly and evenly with a meat pounder or flat mallet to make the slices about 1/4-inch thick.
- Sprinkle the sliced turkey with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a skillet large enough to hold the turkey in one layer, or use two smaller pans.
- Add the sliced turkey and the garlic, bay leaf and thyme.
- Cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, turning the pieces until lightly browned on both sides.
- Do not overcook.
- Remove the turkey slices to a warm platter.
- Leave the garlic, bay leaf and thyme in the pan.
- Add the wine to the skillet and cook over high heat, stirring to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the skillet.
- Cook until it is reduced by half.
- Add the chicken broth and boil briskly until reduced by half.
- Swirl in the remaining butter and the parsley.
- Add the turkey slices and any juices that have accumulated around it, and reheat the turkey through.
- Remove bay leaf, and serve with the garlic cloves and the sauce.
