Worthy of a Special Occasion

The sauce also goes great with chicken breasts. Serve with a wild rice mix.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 cutlets and about 2 1/2 tablespoons sauce)

Ingredients

  • 1  tablespoon  butter
  • 1  tablespoon  vegetable oil
  • 8  (2-ounce) turkey cutlets
  • 1/2  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4  cup  all-purpose flour
  • 1  cup  fresh orange juice
  • 2  teaspoons  Dijon mustard
  • 1/3  cup  dried cranberries

Preparation

Melt butter and oil in a large nonstick skillet over low heat.

While butter melts, sprinkle cutlets with salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish. Dredge cutlets in flour; shake off excess flour.

Increase heat to medium-high; heat 2 minutes or until butter turns golden brown. Add cutlets to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove cutlets from pan; keep warm. Add juice, mustard, and cranberries to pan, scraping to loosen browned bits. Bring to a boil; cook until reduced to 2/3 cup (about 5 minutes). Serve sauce over cutlets.

Very easy for a weeknight meal. Comes together quickly. Other than cutting the recipe in half to feed two, I made no changes. I cut it in half because I do not think it would reheat well and was easy to prepare again with the remaining ingredients a few days later.01/09/10

We thought this recipe was very good. I eased the dijon into the pan sauce for fear that it would overwhelm the flavors as others mentioned but actually preferred it a little stronger. Wish that I had made more sauce. Served with roasted asparagus and couscous (to soak up extra sauce) and the whole thing came together from start to washed-prep-dishes finish in just shy of 30 minutes. I get sick of eating plain old boneless skinless chix breasts and the turkey was a great alternative!08/14/09
