The TURKEY SCALOPPINE WITH LEMON are a main course that is light and flavorful, perfect for many occasions — from a quick family lunch to a dinner with friends who are watching their line but not willing to give up good taste. It’s a dish with a fresh flavor, especially suited to those who love citrus and its intense aroma, which pairs well with the tender but mild turkey meat.
The dish can be prepared in just a few minutes with no effort, but precisely for this reason it should be done to perfection, and I recommend following the step-by-step photo-recipe below. The scaloppine must remain tender and the sauce must thicken just right so it releases its aroma and perfectly completes the dish.

PREPARATION OF TURKEY SCALOPPINE WITH LEMON
The preparation of the TURKEY SCALOPPINE WITH LEMON is very easy and quick.
In a large pan place the butter, a drizzle of oil, the finely chopped onion and a pinch of salt. Turn on the heat and let it soften over low heat.
Meanwhile, pass the slices of turkey breast (remove excess fat) in flour, shake off the excess and set aside.
When the onion has softened, put the meat in the pan and brown it on both sides for 2-3 minutes, taking care not to burn the onion. You can remove the onion when you add the meat and put it back when the meat is browned.
Deglaze with the wine and as soon as it has evaporated season with salt and pepper. Add the juice of two lemons and a few finely grated lemon zests (without the white part). Continue cooking over low heat until you obtain a smooth and homogeneous sauce. If needed, add a splash of water.
At the end of cooking add the finely chopped parsley.
Plate the turkey scaloppine with lemon and enjoy them hot and creamy.
VARIATION
If you want creamier turkey scaloppine with lemon you can add a splash of cream or a soft fresh cheese such as crescenza.
