Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey breast cutlets
- 0.5 cups Fresh orange juice
- 1 whole Zest of an orange
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by patting the turkey cutlets dry with a paper towel. Season both sides of the cutlets with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, orange zest, minced garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, and olive oil to create the orange marinade.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. When the oil is hot, place the turkey cutlets in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the cutlets and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, pour in the orange marinade. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Return the turkey cutlets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Sprinkle with fresh thyme for an herbaceous finish.
Serve the orange turkey cutlets warm alongside your choice of steamed vegetables or rice for a complete meal.
