Turkey Marsale
A flavorful turkey marsala dish featuring tender cutlets cooked in a rich wine and mushroom sauce, perfect for a comforting and elegant meal for family or guests.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Flour the turkey cutlets and fry them in oil until they are light brown.
- Slice the fresh mushrooms and fry them in the same pan as the cutlets.
- Add the Marsala cooking wine to the mushrooms and let stand for a minute or two to absorb the flavor.
- Pour the cutlets and the mushroom mixture into a pan and simmer for 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a crispier cutlet, consider using panko breadcrumbs instead of flour. If you don’t have Marsala wine, a dry sherry or white wine can be a good substitute. Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the cutlets to prevent them from getting soggy. You can also add herbs like thyme or parsley for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Turkey Marsala over a bed of pasta, such as fettuccine or alongside a fresh salad like Bo'S Pasta Salad. Complement the dish with a side of steamed vegetables or garlic bread for a complete meal. This dish pairs beautifully with Italian recipes that feature rich flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, gently warm in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to keep the dish moist. You can also microwave it, but be careful not to overheat, which can dry out the turkey.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use chicken cutlets instead of turkey?
Yes, you can easily substitute chicken cutlets for turkey in this recipe. The cooking time may remain the same, but ensure the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
Is Marsala cooking wine the same as regular Marsala wine?
Marsala cooking wine is specifically designed for cooking and often contains salt and preservatives. Regular Marsala wine is better for drinking and has a richer flavor. If using the drinking version, reduce the amount of salt in your recipe.
Can I add other vegetables to this dish?
Absolutely! Feel free to add vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for added nutrition and flavor. Just sauté them with the mushrooms to ensure they are cooked properly before serving.
