Turkey Cutlets with Horseradish Sauce
Quinoa with Fried Onions
Broccoli with Butter and Herbs

Cooking time: 30 minutes for menu           Cooking schedule: see below for instructions

          Horseradish is a most under-used condiment.  I like to add a bit for a different type of heat than typical hot sauce.  The turkey cutlets cook quickly making this an easy weekday dinner.

Turkey with Horseradish Sauce  

Total time: 30 minutes
      You can use turkey tenderloin - sliced horizontally to make cutlets, or kept whole and simmered another 10 minutes, then sliced before serving.  The combination of mustard and horseradish gives this dish an interesting 'warmth', but not heat like pepper sauce would.

 Instructions:

Quinoa with Fried Onions and Celery

Total time: 25 minutes
   This near-perfect food of the Incas has slowly been gaining recognition in the culinary world. It cooks quickly and has a nutty flavor that goes with everything. It is normally ready to cook, but if not it will need to be rinsed first.  If you can't find it, substitute Basmati or Jasmine Rice.

Quinoa with Fried Onions and Celery Ingredients:

 Instructions:

Broccoli with Butter and Fresh Herbs

Total time: 20 minutes
    Butter and fresh chives are a simple finish for broccoli.  Any fresh herbs will work, but my choices would be chives or thyme. Use dried herbs when fresh are not available.
