Ingredients
- 2 thinly sliced turkey breast pieces about 6 ounces each
- 4 tablespoons butter separated
- 1 shallot minced
- 1 1/2 tablespoon flour
- 2 cup chicken stock

- salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
-
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet.
-
While the butter is melting, put 1 turkey slice into a zip lock bag and pound thin with a meat mallet, using the flat side. Remove and lightly salt and pepper. Repeat with the other turkey breast.
-
When the butter has melted, add the shallot and gently saute until softened. Push to the side of the skillet.
-
Add the turkey breasts and brown on both sides. Remove the meat to a side plate.
-
Melt the other 2 tablespoons of butter and add 1 1/2 tablespoon flour.
-
Let the flour bubble and when it starts to turn from white to light brown, whisk in the chicken stock and wine.
-
Whisk until it thickens, then add the juice of 1 lemon.
-
Put the turkey back in the sauce and add the caper berries.
-
Cover and keep on a very low simmer for 10 minutes.
Recipe Notes
Serve with pasta or rice. Sautéed mushrooms and butter peas go very with this too. For beverages you might light sparkling water with lemon, homemade fresh lemonade with a splash of club soda, or a sauvignon blanc. Enjoy!
