You need

To buy

  • 1/3 cup white wine or dry vermouth
  • 1 small shallot

From your shelf

  • 8 oz cracked pepper premium sliced turkey breast

Staples

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Lay the 8 oz of turkey slices flat in the pan, working in two batches if needed so they sit in a single layer, and cook until they begin to colour on one side, about 2 minutes, then flip and cook another minute. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the same skillet, then slice in your 2 garlic cloves and add 1 small shallot minced. Stir until fragrant, about a minute while the pan is still hot.
  3. Pour in 1/3 cup wine and scrape the browned bits from the pan bottom. Simmer until the liquid reduces by half and turns syrupy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Taste and add salt and pepper to balance.
  4. Return the turkey to the pan, toss to coat in the sauce, and warm through, about 1 minute. Serve right from the skillet or plated with the sauce spooned over.

Note Swap the wine for chicken broth or water if you need to; add a squeeze of lemon juice instead. Leftovers keep three days covered; shred and toss into pasta or grain bowls. Serve over rice, soft polenta, or wilted greens.
