Turkey Cutlets With Snap Peas And Carrots Recipes

TURKEY CUTLETS WITH SPRINGTIME VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Sprinkle turkey with 1 teaspoon tarragon, salt and pepper. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add turkey and sauté until no longer pink, about 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer turkey to plate. Reduce heat to medium. Add leeks, carrots and remaining 1/2 teaspoon tarragon to drippings in skillet. Cook until leeks begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Mix flour into vegetables and cook 1 minute. Gradually mix in broth and wine. Simmer uncovered until carrots are almost tender and sauce is thickened, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Add peas and turkey. Simmer until vegetables are tender and turkey is cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.

STIR-FRIED TURKEY BREAST WITH SNAP OR SNOW PEAS AND CHARD

Steps:

• Season sliced turkey cutlets with salt and pepper. In a small bowl or measuring cup combine soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, and stock or water. Put salt and sugar in another container, and place it and the other ingredients near your burner.
• Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the wok or pan and swirl to coat the sides, then add sliced turkey cutlets in one layer. Let sit untouched for about 30 seconds, then stir-fry until lightly colored and no pink is visible, about 2 to 2 1/2 minutes. Remove to a plate.
• Swirl in remaining oil, add garlic and ginger and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add sugar snap peas and white parts of scallions and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add chard, salt and sugar and stir-fry for about 1 minute, until chard wilts. Return turkey to wok and add soy sauce mixture. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, until vegetables are crisp-tender and turkey cooked through. Add cilantro, scallion greens, and cornstarch slurry. Stir until mixture is lightly glazed, and remove from the heat. Serve with hot grains or noodles.

SPICY TURKEY STIR-FRY WITH CRISP GARLIC AND GINGER

Steps:

• In a cold 12-inch skillet, combine oil, garlic and ginger. Place over medium heat until sizzling, then continue to cook, stirring frequently, until garlic and ginger are golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle lightly with salt.
• Add coconut oil to pan, then stir in scallion whites and cook until starting to brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in red-pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute.
• Stir in turkey, raise heat to medium-high, and cook, breaking up meat with a spoon, until golden and crisp, about 7 minutes. Don't stir the meat too much, so it can turn deep brown.
• Remove pan from heat and stir in lime juice, fish sauce and soy sauce. Taste and add more lime juice, red-pepper flakes, soy sauce and sugar or honey if you like.
• Gently mix about two-thirds of the fried garlic and ginger into the turkey. Serve turkey over rice, topped with cilantro, basil, scallion greens and fresh chile, and garnished with remaining fried ginger and garlic.
