I love all citrus fruits in general, but oranges are irreplaceable.

Believe it or not, I have never stopped drinking fresh orange juice with meals since I was a child.

Yes, because I drink juice not in the morning but during lunch or dinner.

With these premises, could I avoid making a dish that includes their use? Absolutely not.

These slices will remain so soft and creamy that it will be impossible not to remake them, and honestly, even though I love a healthy lifestyle, my food shouldn’t lack flavor.

Ingredients

Let’s see what we need to prepare this recipe:

  • 1 lb turkey (slices)
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour (you will need it to flour the slices)
  • 1 cup white wine (about 1 cup)
  • 3 oranges (3 medium-sized oranges to be juiced)
  • to taste extra virgin olive oil (for the pan)
  • to taste salt
  • 3 tbsp water (a few tablespoons of water)

Tools

  • 1 Pan
  • 1 Citrus Juicer
  • 1 Fork
  • 1 Measuring Jug glass measuring jug

Steps

Let’s prepare the turkey.

  • First, take the oranges and make the juice, then set aside

  • Take the turkey slices and flour both sides well.

    In the meantime, we’ve already oiled the pan that will be used for cooking.

    I just oiled the pan to make the dish less browned; if you prefer, you can add a bit more oil as you’re accustomed to.

  • Now that the turkey is in the pan, let it brown on both sides. When a nice crust forms, we’re ready to add the rest of the ingredients.

    Raise the heat under the pan, take the white wine and let it evaporate.

    Once the wine has evaporated, add the orange juice and a couple of tablespoons of water.

    Add salt, cover the pan, lower the heat, and let it cook until the turkey is done.

    Occasionally turn the slices in the pan.

    Once cooked, you’ll see how flavorful your cooking liquid is, but most importantly, how creamy it is.

Storing Turkey Slices with Orange

If there are leftover turkey slices with orange, let them cool completely after cooking.

Place them in an airtight container, preferably with their sauce to keep them moist.

They keep in the refrigerator for 1–2 days.

When ready to eat, warm them in a pan or microwave on low power, adding a tablespoon of water or orange juice if needed.

Hello, I'm Simona, and my page is called BriCciola in cucina, because I dedicated it to my mom and dad, who have called me that since I was little. I'm not a chef, and in my life, I've always dealt with completely different things, but cooking, along with dancing, has always been one of my great passions. However, my greatest inspiration came from the dishes prepared first by my grandmother and now by my mom. Here on my cooking blog, I'll guide you from appetizers to desserts, with recipes designed for a healthy and mindful lifestyle. Balanced dishes, carefully chosen ingredients, and lots of flavors, because eating well never means giving up pleasure. I love eating, but I also like taking care of my health, my family's health, and, in a way, the health of everyone who tries my recipes. That's why daily life should be rich in flavor, but always with a focus on healthy eating. Thank you, I look forward to seeing you.
