Ingredients

1 package of Shady Brook Farms® Thin-Sliced Turkey Breast Cutlets
1 Bunch Fresh Parsley
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh oregano
2 cloves garlic
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil (1 tbsp separated)
3 tbsp red wine vinegar
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
1 cup heavy cream
1 package Fettuccine (fresh preferred)

Recipe by Dad with a Pan

Step 1

Start by heating a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add a touch of 1 tbsp oil if needed. Place the Shady Brook Farms Turkey Cutlets in the hot pan and sear them for about 1-2 minutes, until they begin to get a golden-brown color, then flip. Reduce heat to low. In a separate pot bring 4 quarts of water to a boil (optionally season water with salt)
Step 2

While the turkey cutlets continue to cook on low, let's create the chimichurri sauce. In a food processor, combine the fresh parsley, cilantro, fresh oregano, garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (if you like it spicy). Blend until you have a vibrant green chimichurri sauce. Add in heavy cream, and pulse for 2-3 seconds until mixed.
Step 3

Slowly pour your creamy chimichurri into the saucepan with the turkey cutlets and bring heat to medium. Let this reduce for about 5 minutes until thick and creamy and turkey cutlets have reached 165°F internal temperature.
Step 4

While the sauce is simmering, add your fettuccine noodles to the pot of boiling water and cook until al dente and drain.
Step 5

In the large saucepan, combine the cooked fettuccine, sliced turkey, and the chimichurri sauce. Stir well to coat the pasta and turkey with the flavorful sauce.
Step 6

Remove turkey cutlets and cut into 1-2 inch pieces for easier serving. Top over fettuccine and garnish with fresh parmesan and red pepper flakes if desired. Enjoy!
