Turkey Scaloppine Tarragon
- 12 ounces turkey skinless, light meat, slice into scaloppine
- 5 tablespoons flour, all-purpose
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced
- 1/2 cup sweet red bell peppers cut in 1 inch pieces
- 2 1/2 each garlic cloves, crushed
- 3/4 cups vegetable stock or chicken or beef
- 4 tablespoons tarragon leaves fresh, chopped, or 1 tsp dried
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 x black pepper freshly ground, to taste
- The recipe starts with thin slices of skinless turkey called scaloppine.
- Scaloppine are often sold already sliced in packages in supermarkets, but if you don't see them, ask the meat cutter to prepare them for you.
- Ask for slices about a quarter-inch thick, cut against the grain.
- If the slices are too thick, pound them gently with a meat pounder or coffee mug.
- To minimize cleanup, pound the meat between two pieces of plastic wrap, then discard the plastic.
- If you are growing herbs, be sure to plant French tarragon and avoid Mexican tarragon.
- Mexican tarragon grows faster and spreads quickly, but lacks the pungent flavor of true French tarragon.
- Combine the flour and salt on a flat dish.
- Dredge each slice of turkey in flour and shake off the excess; set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the mushrooms, red pepper and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are soft.
- Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
- Add the turkey slices and saute over medium high heat until both sides are golden brown.
- Return the mushroom mixture to the skillet and stir in the chicken broth, tarragon, lemon juice and blackpepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and quickly reduce heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
- Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, watching to prevent the liquid from boiling away.
- The sauce will thicken slightly.
- There should be about 5 tablespoons of liquid left in the pan.
- Serve each scaloppine with some of the vegetables and sauce.
- On the side, serve cooked rice, noodles or pasta, such as bowties or orechiette.
