Between sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper, pound turkey to scant 1/4-inch/5 mm thickness.
Mix together oil, lemon rind and juice, pepper, salt and sugar; brush over both sides of each turkey piece. Let sit for 15 to 30 minutes.
Lemon Mushrooms: Meanwhile, in small saucepan, combine 2 tbsp/30 mL water, mushrooms, lemon juice, oil, shallot, anchovies, thyme, salt and pepper; bring to boil, cover and cook over medium heat until mushrooms are almost tender, about 4 minutes. Uncover and cook until liquid has evaporated, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in parsley.
Place turkey on a baking sheet lined with lightly greased foil; broil on highest rack under high heat until no longer pink in centre, about 3 minutes per side. Serve turkey pieces topped with mushrooms.
