Garlic Butter Turkey Cutlets

A 20-Minute Dinner with Roasted Vegetables and Rich Garlic Butter Gravy

When time is tight but you still want a dinner that feels real, warm, and satisfying, turkey cutlets are one of the best-kept secrets in the kitchen. Thin, quick-cooking, and mild in flavor, they’re the perfect canvas for bold, comforting sauces — especially when finished with a rich garlic butter gravy.

This Garlic Butter Turkey Cutlets recipe is designed for those nights when you want everything: speed, flavor, and a plate that looks like you tried a little harder than you did. With just one skillet, one sheet pan, and Le Sauce & Co. Savory Garlic & Butter Gourmet Sauce, dinner is on the table in about 20 minutes.

Why Turkey Cutlets Work So Well

Turkey cutlets are essentially thin slices of turkey breast, which means they cook incredibly fast. Unlike thicker cuts of poultry, there’s no long bake time or complicated prep. A quick seasoning, a hot pan, and a fast sear are all it takes to keep them juicy and tender.

Because turkey has a naturally mild flavor, it pairs beautifully with both garlic and butter. The sauce adds richness without overpowering the meat, while the thin cutlets soak up just enough gravy to stay moist and flavorful.

The Power of a Simple Sauce

Instead of building a pan sauce from scratch — melting butter, adding garlic, thickening with flour, and adjusting seasoning — this recipe relies on Le Sauce Savory Garlic & Butter Gourmet Sauce to streamline the process. One pouch delivers slow-simmered flavor made with real ingredients, giving you that restaurant-quality finish without the extra work.

Once warmed, the gravy coats the turkey cutlets effortlessly and doubles as a drizzle for the roasted vegetables, tying the entire meal together with a cohesive, comforting flavor.

Roasted Vegetables Make It a Complete Meal

Roasted vegetables are the perfect companion to garlic butter turkey. While the cutlets cook quickly on the stovetop, the vegetables roast hands-off in the oven, developing caramelized edges and natural sweetness. Tossed lightly in olive oil and seasoning, they balance the richness of the gravy and bring color and texture to the plate.

Broccoli, carrots, Brussels sprouts, or green beans all work well here — choose what you love or what you already have in the fridge.

Ideal for Weeknights, Perfect for Any Season

This dish fits seamlessly into busy weeknight routines, but it also feels right at home during cooler months when you’re craving comfort without heaviness. It’s lighter than a full turkey dinner yet still delivers those familiar, savory flavors people associate with cozy meals.

Serve it straight from the skillet for a casual family dinner, or plate it neatly with vegetables on the side and gravy drizzled over the top for a simple, elegant presentation.

Real Food, Real Ease

At its core, this recipe is about making good food accessible. With quality ingredients and a thoughtfully crafted sauce, you can create meals that feel nourishing and intentional — even on the busiest days. Le Sauce & Co. helps bridge the gap between convenience and flavor, so you can focus on enjoying dinner instead of managing multiple steps.
