turkey cutlets with balsamic pears

This may not look like much (I never claimed to be a photographer...), but the flavor is phenomenal!

the goods:

4 turkey cutlets, patted dry

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

3 large shallots, thinly sliced

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves. plus more for serving

3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

2 teaspoons grainy mustard

2 Bosc pears, cored and sliced into thin wedges

Season turkey with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high. Add turkey and cook until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side, flipping once. Transfer to a plate and tent loosely with foil.

Add 2 tablespoons butter to skillet and reduce heat to medium. Add shallots, garlic, and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 6 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together broth, vinegar, and mustard.

Add pears to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, 4 minutes.

Add broth mixture; cover and cook 5 minutes.

Uncover, increase heat to high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until pears are tender and liquid is almost evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes.

Return turkey to skillet, along with any juices. Add thyme, toss to combine, and serve.
