Tangy Turkey Breast Cutlets *heather

Take a look at this:
Now come a little closer...

Now take a look at this. Look at the red arrows; first on the left, and now the right.
Mama loves a big save. So to find this price on turkey cutlets was kinda exciting for me. This isn't usually a cut of meat I buy because I keep our grocery bill lean by buying only if it's less than $2/lb. And I stick to lean meats. So when I find a good sale on the lean, I stock up.

This morning I searched for a Cadillac recipe to prepare this Cadillac cut for our dinner. I found something new and was glad I tried it. It got an enthusiastic clink of the milk glass from the 4 year old at the table. So that's pretty good.


Marinade Ingredients:
3 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Dijon-style prepared mustard
2 tsp dried rosemary, crushed

Whisk ingredients in a bowl. Pour over turkey and marinate in a plastic bag, or bowl in the refrigerator for 1-4 hours.

Broil cutlets 4 inches from flame for 5 minutes on each side. OR, grill in stove top on open grill pan. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until juices run clear.


For a side I sauteed up some brussels sprouts with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. I also paired it with roasted sweet potatoes and a glass of chardonnay. The marinade leaves the turkey moist and tender with a big, tangy taste. Try it.
