Turkey cutlets with Rosemary and white bean mash




1 tbls olive oil + another tbls for the beans

1 tbls butter

1 tbls garlic

2 400 gm cans of Butter Beans

a handful of fresh rosemary

8 turkey cutlets

1/4 chicken broth

lemon juice

Heat the oil, rosemary and garlic in a large deep frying pan.  Brown on both sides. Drain and rinse the beans and toss them with a bit more olive oil and some more rosemary in the bottom of a roasting tin. Salt and pepper.

Lay the turkey on top of the beans.  Deglaze the pan with the chicken stock and lemon juice.  Pour the pan juices over the turkey.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Pop into a 180C/350F oven for about 20 minutes, till the turkey is cooked through, the liquid hot and bubbling and the beans are cooked. Remove the turkey and either mash the beans with a fork or use a wand blender to puree them.  You need only a little liquid so you may need to spoon out part of it and re-add it as you mash or blend so your “mash” isn’t too soupy!

Serve with fresh veg and a lemon wedge to squeeze over.
