Instructions:

Prepare the Escalopes:
- Lay a sheet of wax paper or cling film over the turkey escalopes, or place them in a sturdy plastic bag.
- Use a rolling pin to gently pound the escalopes, flattening them to an even thickness. This helps tenderize the meat and ensures even cooking.
-
Coat with Seasoned Flour:
- Sprinkle the seasoned flour over the turkey escalopes, ensuring they are fully coated on both sides. This flour coating adds a delightful crispness to the escalopes when cooked.
-
Heat the Pan:
- Heat a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the olive oil. π
-
Cook the Escalopes:
- Carefully place the prepared turkey escalopes in the hot pan. Cook for approximately two minutes on each side, or until they develop a beautiful golden-brown crust. π
-
Remove from Heat:
- Once cooked, remove the turkey escalopes from the pan and transfer them to a plate. Keep them warm while you prepare the sauce.
-
Create the Lemony Caper Sauce:
- In the same pan, add the juice of one lemon, along with the capers and freshly chopped parsley. Let this flavorful mixture bubble and meld together.
-
Add the Butter:
- Next, add the butter to the pan. π§ Swirl it around until it melts and combines with the tangy lemon and briny capers, creating a luscious sauce.
-
Combine and Serve:
- Pour this delightful lemon-caper sauce over the cooked turkey escalopes, ensuring they are generously coated.
- Serve your Turkey Escalope with Lemon and Capers alongside your favorite veggies for a balanced and satisfying meal. π₯¦π₯
