Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Turkey cutlets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 15 ounces Canned black beans (rinsed and drained)
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Season the turkey cutlets on both sides with salt, pepper, and ground cumin.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the turkey cutlets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the cutlets to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and smoked paprika, stirring constantly for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the black beans and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Using a fork or a potato masher, partially mash the black beans in the skillet to create a slightly thickened sauce, leaving some beans whole for texture.
Stir in the lime juice and half of the chopped cilantro. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, then remove the skillet from the heat.
To serve, spoon the smoky black bean sauce onto plates and place a turkey cutlet on top. Garnish with the remaining cilantro and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
Enjoy your Turkey Cutlets with Smoky Black Bean Sauce while hot!
