Turkey Provencal

Does turkey count as a true deviation from my chicken tendencies? ;)
I saw this Cooking Light recipe on Ally's blog and couldn't wait to make it. It came out nice and juicy - very tasty!

Ingredients:
4 turkey cutlets
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 teaspoons dried herbes de Provence
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Fresh thyme sprigs (optional)
Sprinkle turkey evenly with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add turkey; cook 6 minutes on each side or until done. Remove turkey from pan; keep warm.
Add garlic to pan; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add broth and herbes de Provence; bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Cook until broth mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup (about 3 minutes). Remove from heat; add butter and lemon juice, stirring until butter melts. Serve sauce over turkey. Garnish with thyme sprigs, if desired.
Yield4 servings (serving size: 1 chicken breast half and about 2 tablespoons sauce)
