The key ingredient in this recipe is Dijon mustard, which adds a special flavor, and when combined with honey, creates a balanced sauce—both tangy and sweet—that enhances the natural juiciness and tenderness of the turkey meat.
Ingredients:
- 4 pieces of turkey breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)
For the sauce:
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup chicken broth (or water)
Instructions:
Season the turkey breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Rub them with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh thyme or rosemary. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add the turkey breasts. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside. In the same pan, add a little olive oil, then add the finely chopped garlic. Sauté until fragrant. Add the Dijon mustard, honey, balsamic vinegar, and chicken broth. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Return the turkey breasts to the pan with the sauce and simmer until everything is well combined.
Serve the turkey breasts with a side of your choice, such as roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. Drizzle with the sauce and enjoy the rich flavors.
