Sautéed Turkey Cutlets with Orange-Cranberry Pan Sauce
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
