Pan-Seared Turkey Cutlets With Asian-Inspired Orange Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 turkey breast cutlets
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup orange juice
2 2 tablespoons honey or 2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup scallion, sliced thin (optional)

Preparation

Season both sides of turkey cutlets with 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoons onion powder, 1/2 teaspoons ginger, 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons black pepper. Allow to dry marinate at room temperature for up to 20 minutes.
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
While skillet and oil are heating up, combine sauce ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together orange juice, agave nectar, soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoons onion powder, 1/4 teaspoons ginger and cornstarch. Set aside.
When olive oil is glistening hot and fragrant, add turkey cutlets. Sear for 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove to a serving plate and cover to keep warm.
Pour sauce into the skillet. With a wooden spoon (as not to scratch the skillet), stir sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the surface of the skillet. The sauce will begin to thicken. Once it reaches a gravy-like consistency, remove from heat.
Pour sauce over turkey cutlets or serve in a small gravy dish/pitcher.
If desired, garnish with sliced scallions.
