Pan-Seared Turkey Cutlets With Asian-Inspired Orange Sauce

"This is a much yummier and healthier way to feed a craving for Chinese food. We enjoyed these lean pan-seared turkey cutlets seasoned with savory spices and ginger and then drizzled with a sweet and spicy orange-soy-ginger sauce. Serve with steamed vegetables and brown rice, and you have a healthy alternative to ordering not-so-healthy takeout."

directions

  • Season both sides of turkey cutlets with 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoons onion powder, 1/2 teaspoons ginger, 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons black pepper. Allow to dry marinate at room temperature for up to 20 minutes.
  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
  • While skillet and oil are heating up, combine sauce ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together orange juice, agave nectar, soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoons onion powder, 1/4 teaspoons ginger and cornstarch. Set aside.
  • When olive oil is glistening hot and fragrant, add turkey cutlets. Sear for 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove to a serving plate and cover to keep warm.
  • Pour sauce into the skillet. With a wooden spoon (as not to scratch the skillet), stir sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the surface of the skillet. The sauce will begin to thicken. Once it reaches a gravy-like consistency, remove from heat.
  • Pour sauce over turkey cutlets or serve in a small gravy dish/pitcher.
  • If desired, garnish with sliced scallions.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>My name is Rebecca, but my family and friends call me Becky. I am&nbsp;33 years old and live in Rochester, New York, USA. I am a life-long resident of Western New York and can't say as I'd ever want to live anywhere else. I grew up on a small dairy farm in rural Western New York and love country living. Although my husband and I live in a suburb right now, we hope someday to move back to our roots and live a peaceful country life. <br /><br />My husband and I have been married for 10 years.&nbsp; We have a beautiful 5-year-old&nbsp;daughter and a 3-year-old&nbsp;son.&nbsp;&nbsp;I am amazed at how quickly our kids are&nbsp;growing and developing.&nbsp; I read a lot about and hold my own personal skepticism regarding the affects of additives such as&nbsp;preservatives,&nbsp;hormones, artificial colorings, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, allergens, etc.&nbsp; With the increasing number of children and adults with food allergies, I am suspicious that the last century&nbsp;of our nation's food industry improvements have contributed.&nbsp; I'm doing the best I can to protect my family&nbsp;from the risks, but it is difficult to avoid every additive.&nbsp; I have friends and family with food allergies and know how difficult it is to cope with food restrictions. I enjoy the challenge of&nbsp;cooking for those with food allergies but can't imagine making it an every-day affair.</p> 8727502"
