Ingredients
- 4 turkey cutlets
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pat turkey cutlets dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Cook turkey cutlets for approximately 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove cutlets from pan and set aside on a warm plate.
- In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and reduce heat to medium.
- Sauté chopped onions until translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and diced bell peppers, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until peppers start to soften.
- Pour in diced tomatoes, stirring to combine with vegetables. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until sauce slightly thickens.
- Season tomato ragout with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return turkey cutlets to the skillet, spooning ragout over the top to reheat and combine flavors.
- Serve immediately, with ragout generously spooned over each turkey cutlet.
Tips
- Choose the Right Cutlets: For the best results, opt for turkey cutlets that are even in thickness. This ensures they cook evenly and stay juicy.
- Pat Dry for a Perfect Sear: Make sure to pat the turkey cutlets dry with paper towels before seasoning. This helps achieve a beautiful golden-brown crust when cooking.
- Don’t Rush the Vegetables: Allow the onions to sauté until they are translucent before adding the garlic and bell peppers. This builds a deeper flavor base for your ragout.
- Adjust the Seasoning: Taste as you go! Feel free to adjust the salt and pepper in the ragout to suit your personal preference.
- Serve with a Side: This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of rice, quinoa, or a fresh green salad to balance the meal.
- Leftover Magic: If you have leftovers, store the turkey cutlets and ragout separately in the fridge. They make a fantastic filling for sandwiches or wraps the next day!
