Turkey Breast with Peppers and Onions

California cooking likes brightness, fast finishes, and produce that keeps the plate from feeling heavy. This version uses Peppers and Onions and a quick skillet finish so the Turkey Breast stays central instead of getting buried under the rest of the plate.

1 1/2 to 2 pounds Turkey Breast
Kosher salt
Black pepper
Neutral oil or rendered fat
1 to 2 cups Peppers
1 to 2 cups Onions
Optional: 1 small Cilantro
1 tablespoon butter

Trim and season the Turkey Breast while you prep the Peppers and Onions.
Set up the pan, pot, or oven before you start cooking so the timing stays calm once the protein goes down.
Keep the pan lively and stop cooking while the texture still feels deliberate.
Fold in the Peppers and Onions at the right point so they support the cut instead of dissolving into the background.
Rest or hold the protein briefly, then serve while the pan juices or broth still feel connected to the plate.

If the pan feels crowded, split the batch and keep the browning clean. Leftovers keep best when cooled quickly and packed shallow; California meals built around Turkey Breast are usually stronger on day one than after repeated reheats.
