Turkey medallions
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Medallions are fairly thick pieces of fillet, cut into oval or round shapes. In culinary practice, medallions are always marinated. The key when frying is not to overcook the tender meat. The finished dish can be served at the table.

Place the turkey medallions in a deep bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add paprika, brown sugar, and Provence herbs. Squeeze in lime juice and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Mix well, rubbing the marinade into the pieces of meat. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour. If marinating longer, store the meat in a cool place.

Step 3
Heat the oil in a cast-iron skillet and sear the medallions on one side until a golden crust forms, about 3 minutes. The heat should not be too high. Flip the medallions and cook for another two to three minutes.

Step 5
But I recommend sautéing coarsely chopped slices of green apple in the remaining oil. Just briefly, until they develop a golden crust. These apples make an excellent side dish for tender and spicy turkey meat. Those who like it can additionally sprinkle the apples with sugar and cinnamon.

Now serve as quickly as possible! Serve with rice as an additional side dish. And I highly recommend lingonberry sauce!
