I've been loving the fall food lately, if you can't tell. :) I think fall definitely has my favorite foods and favorite flavors! The glaze, or sauce, in this recipe really makes otherwise dry turkey breast very moist and delicious.
serves 2
2 turkey breast cutlets, 4-6 oz each
1/4 cup apple juice (or the juice of 1 medium/large apple)
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 clove of garlic, minced
2 T fresh tarragon, minced
1/2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
salt and pepper
extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp of arrowroot powder, optional
Make the sauce by whisking the apple juice, chicken stock, garlic, tarragon and ginger together in a small bowl.
Heat a heavy bottomed skillet over medium high heat until good and hot. Add enough olive oil that your meat won't stick (I used about 1T in my cast iron). Salt and pepper the turkey cutlets and sear 2 minutes on each side, then remove to a plate.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the sauce to the pan. Stir to loosen any bits from the bottom, and when the sauce comes to a boil add the turkey cutlets back to the pan. Cook for a few more minutes until the turkey is done through and the sauce has boiled down. If the sauce has boiled down too far, add a little more chicken stock. To tighten up a loose sauce, dissolve the arrowroot powder in 1T cold water, whisk into the sauce and simmer until thickened.

-------------------
Along with the turkey, we had some steamed broccoli that I just lightly salted and then drizzled with a little cold pressed macadamia nut oil. We also had pumpkin mashed potatoes, which I made by mashing together a mixture of 1/2 white potato and 1/2 pumpkin and then adding salt, chicken stock, a little fresh grated ginger and a little extra virgin olive oil (woulda been better with butter, but it was still good!). If potatoes aren't for you, you could use cauliflower instead.

I've been eating a pre-agricultural, whole-food diet for several years, and I've run out of ideas and was only one step from buying a paleo cook book. So glad I found this blog!
Bookmarked!

Thanks for sharing.
The paleo diet prohibits potatoes, and tubers of any kind
Very cool theme
Heat a heavy bottomed skillet greater than method increased heat until decent and hot. include adequate olive essential oil that the meat won't stick (I employed about 1T in my cast iron). Salt and pepper the turkey cutlets and sear a few of mins on every side, then eradicate to some plate.
Do you know the new game of the Cheap Aion Kinah
