Ingredients:
- 500 g turkey breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 150 ml dry white wine
- 200 ml cooking cream
- 2 tablespoons red peppercorns, soaked
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A bunch of fresh parsley, chopped
To start, prepare the red pepper. It will add a distinctive flavor to our sauce, but it is important to soak it in the white wine to reduce its intensity. So, in a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons of red pepper with the white wine and let them soak for 15 minutes. This step will help extract the delicious flavors from the pepper without making it too spicy.
Meanwhile, slice the turkey breast into thin pieces, about 1 cm thick. This will allow for even and quick cooking. Season the slices with salt and pepper to taste.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and crushed garlic, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they become translucent and fragrant. This mixture will create the perfect base for our sauce.
Once the onion and garlic are ready, add the turkey breast slices to the skillet. Cook them for 5-7 minutes on each side until they become golden and well-cooked. Remove the meat from the skillet and let it rest on a plate.
In the same skillet, pour in the white wine in which you soaked the red pepper, letting it boil for 2-3 minutes to evaporate the alcohol. Then, add the cooking cream and soaked red peppercorns. Mix well and let the sauce simmer on low heat for 5 minutes until it becomes creamy and aromatic.
Reintroduce the turkey breast slices into the skillet, covering them with the delicious sauce. Let everything simmer together for 2-3 minutes so that the flavors combine perfectly.
For a unique touch, you can also add a few fresh basil leaves to the sauce, giving it a hint of freshness. Serve the turkey breast with red pepper sauce over a bed of mashed potatoes or alongside a fresh green salad.
This dish will not only impress with its appearance but will also provide an explosion of flavors that will delight the taste buds. Enjoy every bite and transform an ordinary meal into an unforgettable culinary experience!
