Print Recipe
Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup low sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic pressed
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 3/4 cup low-fat plain yogurt
  • 1 1/2 cups seasoned bread crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 2 1/4 pounds boneless skinless turkey breast
  • meat sliced into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup sliced onion

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together broth and cornstarch; add salt, pepper, garlic, basil, and yogurt; set aside, leaving the whisk in the bowl.
  • On a plate, combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. In a shallow dish or bowl, beat the eggs. Dip turkey tenders in egg, shaking off excess, then dredge in bread crumb mixture.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add turkey tenders and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side or until lightly browned and cooked through.
