- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 pounds turkey breast cutlets
- 6 slices pancetta, chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 2 pints Brussels sprouts, thinly sliced
- 3 1/2 cups chicken stock or broth
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (eyeball it)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Preheat the oven to 375 F.
- In a shallow dish, combine the sage, half of the parsley, the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of the EVOO, salt, and pepper.
- Add the turkey cutlets, coat thoroughly, and marinate for 5 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of the EVOO (twice around the pan).
- Add the pancetta and cook until crisp, about 4 minutes.
- Add the onions and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the sliced Brussels sprouts, 1/2 cup of the chicken stock, and the balsamic vinegar, stir to combine, and continue to cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender.
- While the Brussels sprouts are cooking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of EVOO.
- Add the turkey cutlets and brown on each side.
- Transfer the cutlets to a shallow baking dish and add 1 cup of the chicken stock to keep the meat moist.
- Transfer the cutlets to the oven, loosely tented with foil, for 6 to 7 minutes, or until cooked through.
- To the skillet that you browned the cutlets in, add the butter and melt it over medium heat.
- Add the flour and cook for 1 minute.
- Whisk in the remaining 2 cups of chicken stock and allow it to thicken up, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Season the gravy with salt and pepper and finish with the remaining parsley.
