Turkey Scaloppine with Herbed Gravy

I have to admit, I first saw this recipe and didn't think much of it. I have since changed my mind. Last night was my yoga night, so we always have to cook something quick and light. My husband and I were thrilled with this recipe and are even looking forward to the leftovers at lunch today.

This turkey recipe is healthy and extremely tasty. I served these turkey cutlets with lima beans and some steamed carrots. We had chopped nectarines on the side.

Turkey Scaloppine with Herbed Gravy
Serves 4-5
Adapted by: http://www.meals.com/Recipes/Turkey-Scaloppine.aspx?recipeid=32175

Ingredients:
1 pound boneless turkey breast cutlets
Garlic Powder and black pepper for seasoning
3 tablespoons white whole wheat flour
3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup water
1 cup low sodium chicken broth OR dry white wine - chicken broth is what I used
1 tablespoon light butter
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped OR 1 teaspoon minced garlic in oil
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning - I used McCormick poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon chicken flavor bouillon granules (you will find this near the soup/broth section)
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Directions:
-Place flour, garlic powder, and black pepper in a small bowl and coat turkey cutlets on all sides.
-In a large, nonstick skillet over medium high heat, add your extra virgin olive oil. Once the pan is heated you will add your turkey cutlets. You will cook the turkey cutlets for approx 4 to 5 minutes and then flip over and cook until the turkey cutlets are cooked fully. *I covered my pan and that helped get them cooked on the center, while the outsides got nice and crispy.
-Once the turkey cutlets are completely cooked, remove from the pan and set on a plate in the microwave to stay warm.
-Return nonstick skillet to the heat source and add the water, chicken broth or wine, butter, garlic, poultry seasoning, and chicken bouillon. Stir together and bring to a boil. Reduce heat. You may wish to season with additional black pepper. Simmer for 1 minute.
-In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch and a small splash of water and mix together. Add this mixture to the sauce pan. The mixture will start to thicken up. This is when you will remove the pan from the heat source.
-Add your turkey cutlets back to the pan and make sure to coat them in the gravy mixture.
-Serve on a plate and pour some of the gravy on top.

Enjoy! :)

*Trust me that this recipe seems quite simple but it is full of flavor. Just make sure not to overcook the turkey cutlets or they will be dry.
