Turkey Fillets in Tarragon-Yogurt Sauce
Ingredients
2 tablespoons safflower oil — or other veg oil
2 pounds boneless turkey breast — cut in 4 fillets
1 large shallot — minced
1 clove garlic — minced
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup chicken stock
salt
fresh ground pepper
1 tablespoon fresh tarragon — chopped
OR 1 1/2 tsp dried tarragon
1 cup plain yogurt — room temperature
Directions
Heat the oil in a skillet large enough to hold the turkey fillets in one layer. Over moderate heat, saute the turkey pieces, turning occasionally, until well browned. Remove to a warm place.
Saute the minced shallot and garlic in the skillet juices 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently until soft. Stir in the flour, a little at a time, to make a smooth paste and cook 1 minute, stirring; then gradually stir in a little of the chicken stock, continuing until the stock is used up and the sauce is smooth and quite thick.
Return the turkey pieces to the pan, season with a little salt and fresh pepper to taste, spoon the sauce over the turkey, and sprinkle tarragon on top. Cover and simmer over very low heat about 5 minutes more. Stir in the yogurt and heat, but do not boil.
Spoon the sauce over the fillets and serve.
