Cooking time: 35 minutes for menu Cooking schedule: see below for "menu" instructions |
If you can't get thin turkey cutlets you can substitute sliced turkey tenderloin or boneless chicken breasts. If you had to buy a larger quantity of Brussels Sprouts, don't worry, we'll be having them again next week.
Glazed Turkey Cutlets Time: 20 minutes
2 - 3 turkey cutlets, 12oz (350gr) total weight
1 small onion or 1/2 of a larger one save other half for Wednesday
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup chicken stock
1 tsp ginger substitute 1/4 tsp powdered ginger
1 tbs olive oil
1 tbs cornstarch (or thickener of choice) dissolved in 2 tbs water
Combine soy sauce, lemon juice and stock in a dish. Add turkey cutlets, turning to coat and allow to marinate for a bit. Thinly slice onion. Mince garlic. Mince ginger if using fresh. Sauté onion, garlic and ginger in oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add turkey (reserving marinade) and sauté until golden - pushing onion mixture to sides of pan to prevent burning. Add reserved marinade, reduce heat and cook, covered 5 - 7 minutes longer or until done. Remove turkey from pan. Thicken pan juices by adding cornstarch mixture and stirring well. Pour over turkey and serve.
Roasted Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts Time: 35 minutes
Roasting vegetables brings out the sweetness in them, lightly caramelizing the sugars. A little bit of olive oil to give them a bit of crispness is all that's needed. Add a bit of extra flavors and: Voila!
2 medium potatoes, 6 - 7oz (200gr) each
12 - 16 Brussels sprouts
1 tbs Balsamic vinegar
1 tbs olive oil
2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp rosemary
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Trim Brussels sprouts: slice a bit off of the stem end and peel away the outer leaves - any that are damaged, wilted or discolored. Cut them in half, the long way, through the stem end. Cut potatoes in 4ths the long way and then in thirds the short way. Put olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and rosemary in a medium bowl, and mix well. Add potatoes and sprouts. Toss well to coat. Put them on a baking sheet with a lip (trusty round pizza pan) and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Stir after 15 minutes. When done, remove from oven and serve.
