Ingredients
- 2 pound turkey breast cutlets (cutlets, trimmed)
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion (medium, chopped)
- 4 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 eggplant (medium, diced into 1/2-inch cubes)
- 2 zucchinis (medium, diced into 1/2-inch cubes)
- 1 can canned diced tomatoes (14.5 oz can, with juice)
- 1 pound green beans (trimmed)
- 2 tablespoon Herbes de Provence (dried)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (ground)
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped yellow onion and minced garlic, cooking for 3 minutes until softened.
- Add the diced eggplant, diced zucchini, canned diced tomatoes with juice, 1 tablespoon of the Herbes de Provence, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper. Stir well, cover, and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes until the vegetables are meltingly tender.
- Season the turkey cutlets on both sides with the remaining 1 tablespoon of Herbes de Provence, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey cutlets and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through to 165°F.
- Steam the trimmed green beans in a steamer basket over boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes until crisp-tender.
- Ladle the rich vegetable ratatouille onto plates, top with a golden turkey cutlet, and serve alongside the steamed green beans.
Notes
Ratatouille develops even richer depth when gently simmered, making extra portions a delight.
