Directions

Making the fried turkey may seem like a simple task, but you can get more with enhancing this basic way of dealing with turkey pan searing. Start with frying lemons and add some dry wine after your turkey cutlets are well done. This dish is easy and fast, while it’s still flavorful, tasty and healthy, so it’s totally acceptable even for sudden guests.

Steps

1 Done	Wash the lemons, measure the spices, cut your turkey fillets into slices, don’t try to make them too thin. Otherwise, it will be too easy to burn such meat.
2 Done	Don’t get too thin with lemons too, as you’ll need to fry them together with turkey.
3 Done	As usual, you should use a mortar to achieve the right texture for your black pepper, so gently press these peppercorns to get them perfectly done.
4 Done	Once the peppercorns are ground, season your breasts with kosher salt and pepper.
5 Done	Heat the oil, carefully transfer the sliced lemon into your skillet, pour all the juice too.
6 Done	In a few minutes, start frying another side of your lemons. You'll get lots of lemon sauce, so impressive because of its stunning aroma.
7 Done	Place all the turkey fillets into the skillet, once lemons are ready. Keep in mind that this poultry cut is fried almost instantly as such cutlets are pretty thin, so watch them carefully.
8 Done	Add some thyme into the same skillet, right onto the turkey. While some people prefer simply putting fresh thyme on the ready turkey, it's better to let your thyme get cooked for a bit, so this spice will give more flavor to the end dish.
9 Done	Now flip your turkey cutlet on the undone side and fry a bit more.
10 Done	Carefully pour the wine over the meat - this way your turkey will stay tender and juicy.
11 Done	Fry cutlets until all the wine is evaporated and then remove them from the stove.
12 Done	Serve this fried turkey while it's still warm. Don't toss the lemons, as they are still slightly sour after cooking and soaked with turkey juices, that's why they would bring more nuances to the taste of your soft cutlets.
