Time 25m

Yield Serves 3

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds turkey breast (skinless and boneless)
2 tablespoons sweet butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup dry white wine
1 lemon
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
3 slices prosciutto
3 pats butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Cut the turkey breast, lengthwise, into three fillets of roughly equal thickness (each should be about half an inch thick).
  • Melt butter and oil in a skillet large enough to hold all the fillets. In a bowl combine flour and salt and pepper to taste.
  • When the butter foam stops sizzling, dredge the turkey fillets in the flour, shake off excess and place in the pan. Saute them for about 2 to 3 minutes a side. Remove and keep them warm in the oven.
  • Deglaze the pan with the wine and juice from half the lemon. Let liquid reduce by a third. Pour a few tablespoons of the liquid into the bottom of a baking dish large enough to hold all 3 fillets.
  • Lay the fillets in the baking dish. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over them, then lay on the prosciutto. Put a pat of butter over each and place them in a preheated 400-degree oven for about five minutes. Before serving pour any remaining liquid from the dish over the fillets and finish off with freshly squeezed lemon.
