Turkey Piccata
Lean and Lemony
Turkey Piccata is a flavorful dish with about 4 grams of fat. The lemony flavor of the sauce, made with capers, gives this dish a rich taste without all the calories. This classic recipe is traditionally made with veal, but turkey or chicken make a great substitute.
Capers are widely used in the Mediterranean region. They are unripened flower buds that are pickled in vinegar, wine or salt to bring out their tangy lemony flavor. They can be used in salads, sauces, dressings and in a variety of main dishes.
You can serve this Turkey Piccata dish on a plate of whole wheat angel hair pasta or with a nice salad.
