Turkey Cutlets with Cilantro-Almond Sauce

By Tufgrlz

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)

Preparation

Step 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.

Prepare grill for cooking with hot charcoal (high heat for gas).

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.

Grill turkey, turning once, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a platter.

Spoon almond sauce over turkey.
