I kept prosciutto and sage in this Italian classic, but instead of veal I added turkey. This saltimbocca is so divine, you won't believe how quick and easy it is. —Deirdre Cox, Kansas City, Missouri

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 turkey breast tenderloin (8 ounces)
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 thin slice prosciutto or deli ham, cut into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh sage
  • 1/4 cup white wine or chicken broth

Directions

  1. Place flour in a large shallow bowl. Cut tenderloin horizontally in half; flatten each half with a meat mallet to 1/2-in. thickness. Sprinkle with pepper. Dip in flour to coat both sides; shake off excess.
  2. In a large skillet, heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add turkey; cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until no longer pink. Remove from pan; keep warm.
  3. In same pan, heat 1-1/2 teaspoons butter over medium-high heat. Add prosciutto and sage; cook and stir until slightly crisp. Add wine to pan; increase heat to medium-high. Cook until liquid is slightly reduced, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Remove from heat; stir in remaining 1-1/2 teaspoons butter. Serve with turkey.
