Chicken fatigue? Turkey cutlets require little cooking time and provide a tender platform for a deliciously garlicky sauce with toasted almonds. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar |
1 large garlic clove, finely chopped |
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil |
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted |
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander |
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon |
4 (1/4-inch-thick) turkey breast cutlets (about 1 1/4 lb) |
Directions:
1. Whisk together vinegar, garlic, red-pepper flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until salt is dissolved. Add 3 tablespoons oil in a slow stream, whisking until combined well, then whisk in almonds and cilantro.
2. Prepare grill for cooking with hot charcoal (high heat for gas).
3. Whisk together coriander, cinnamon, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl. Turn cutlets to coat in spice mixture.
4. Grill turkey, turning once, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a platter.
5. Spoon almond sauce over turkey.
6. Cooks' Note: If you aren't able to grill outdoors, turkey can be cooked in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over moderately high heat, turning over once, until just cooked through, about 6 minutes total.
