What to do with turkey breasts, specifically skinless turkey breasts? The same thing can be said of chicken breasts. We all know by now that turkey can be a substitute for chicken, especially when one gets tired of chicken all the time. But turkey can add its own dimension and flavor, as with this old-fashioned entrée of turkey cooked with lemon and capers in a yogurt-sour cream sauce. Nothing fancy. Just good ingredients that can be found in most refrigerators. Served with potatoes, rice, or even pasta, it’s a tasty and filling meal.
