Ingredients and Preparation

Ingredients Measures
Turkey breast cutlets 2 (6-ounce)
Juice and zest (grated lemon peel) of ½ lemon
Salt ¼ teaspoon
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Dry white wine (or substitute chicken broth) 1/3 cup
Reduced-sodium chicken broth 1/3 cup
Fresh chopped sage 1 tablespoon
Butter 2 teaspoons

Directions

  1. Combine turkey, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a large zippered bag. Shake to coat turkey and let marinate 15 minutes.
  2. Prepare the outdoor grill or grill pan, if cooking indoors. Remove turkey from marinade and grill over medium-high heat about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat.
  3. Meanwhile, bring wine and broth to boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add lemon peel and sage, reduce heat, and simmer about 10 minutes to reduce. Remove from heat and add butter, whisking until melted.
  4. Spoon sauce over turkey and serve immediately.
