Honey Pepper Turkey

Honey pepper turkey cutletsBoy, it was harder than I thought it would be to find turkey cutlets in this town for tonight's Dinner Together. I wanted to try this recipe because it was lean, super-fast and offered my kids' current favorite --poultry or fish with very little done to it.

Finally ordered the cutlets from Peapod. They were worth the trouble -- dinner was on the table in 20 minutes, and the kids ate every bit.

Here, as usual, is the recipe:

Honey Pepper Turkey

Serves 4

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon cracked pepper

8 teaspoons canola oil

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless turkey breast cutlets, 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick

Mix Worcestershire sauce, honey, mustard and pepper together and set aside. Heat oil in a medium-size nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey and brown 1-2 minutes. Turn and brown second side 1 minute. Reduce heat to low, spoon sauce over turkey and cook 1 minute or until cooked through.

Note: Chicken tenders, thighs or breasts can be substituted for the turkey; you'll just need to cook them longer, depending on the cut.

Adapted from "Mix 'n' Match Meals in Minutes for People With Diabetes," by Linda Gassenheimer. The recipe analysis is also from the book.
