Cooking with Gas


Marinated turkey breast cutlets
Back to more highlights from healthy eating. Yesterday's dinner was the remaining turkey breast cutlets marinaded in honey, fresh squeezed orange juice, Martinelli's apple juice, garlic, chopped mint, salt and pepper, and some red pepper flakes. I let it sit overnight in the fridge; good idea! Makes the meat very tender and moist. 

Pan fried turkey breast with au jus
I ditched the liquid from the marinade, and got to work. Cutlets were fried over medium-high heat in a pan coated with a light, non-stick spray. The top side was loaded with grated Locatelli romano. After the flip, the cheese formed a lovely brown crust on the bottom as it cooked. Pan drippings became the sauce of orange bits and their juice that had combined with the mint and garlic, spooned on top. Yum.
