Immerse yourself in culinary elegance with our Balsamic Marinated Turkey Medallions recipe—an outstanding dish that merges the juiciness of turkey with the vibrant, tangy flavors of balsamic marinade. Each bite of this dish is a flavor celebration, showcasing tender turkey medallions enlivened by the bold richness of balsamic vinegar.
You should definitely try this turkey recipe because the marinade is incredibly tasty. The best part is how easy it is to prepare. Trust me when I say that I truly prefer simple recipes. Turkey pairs wonderfully with any garnish or side dish, whether grains or vegetables.
There are three key rules that you need to follow, and you will get juicy turkey meat medallions with crunchy crust:
- Foil wrap is used not only to create medallions but also to prevent meat pieces from losing extra juice.
- Avoid overcooking meat pieces in the skillet.
- Do not skip the step of marinating the meat for an hour.
For turkey medallions, use meat from the turkey breast or hip.
In this culinary journey, we encourage you to explore the art of transforming turkey into an extraordinary dish. The sweet and savory marinade orchestrates a blend of flavors that elevates the turkey’s natural juiciness, while introducing an additional dimension that delights the palate.
Ingredients for Turkey Medallions with Dijon mustard:
- 700 g fresh turkey breasts;
- 4 tbsps. olive oil for marinade;
- 4 tbsps. oil for frying;
- 5 balsamic vinegar;
- 5 tsp. dry herbs mix;
- 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard;
- a pinch of dry basil;
- 5 tsp. salt;
- 2 pinches of red pepper.
How to cook turkey medallions on the stove:
- Rinse turkey breasts under running water and pat them dry with paper towels. Cut into big quarters of the same size as in the photo.
- Slightly beat up all the pieces of meat, but do not make them too flat. Use cling wrap to cover meat, in such a way you won’t rip it apart.
- Make marinade in a deep bowl. Combine oil, balsamic vinegar, mustard, and herbs into one smooth mixture.
- Deep turkey medallions into the marinade and let them sit for at least an hour to incorporate all the flavors and soften the meat.
- Prepare strips of aluminum foil and wrap the sides of each piece so that the medallions won’t lose their shape (instead of foil you can use bacon).
- Heat a skillet with oil in it over medium to high heat. Cook every piece for 3 minutes on each side until golden crust forms on each side.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, take off the foil, cover the pan with a lead, and let the medallions sit for 5 minutes. In that way, medallions will get ready. Enjoy your meal!
