Honey Pepper Turkey

It was harder than I thought it would be to find turkey cutlets in this town for tonight's Dinner Together. I wanted to try this recipe because it was lean, super-fast and offered my kids' current favorite --poultry or fish with very little done to it.

Finally ordered the cutlets from Peapod. They were worth the trouble -- dinner was on the table in 20 minutes, and the kids ate every bit.

Here, as usual, is the recipe:

Honey Pepper Turkey

Serves 4

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon cracked pepper

8 teaspoons canola oil

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless turkey breast cutlets, 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick

Mix Worcestershire sauce, honey, mustard and pepper together and set aside. Then heat oil in a medium-size nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add turkey and brown 1-2 minutes. Turn and brown second side 1 minute. Reduce heat to low, spoon sauce over turkey and cook 1 minute or until cooked through.

Note: Chicken tenders, thighs or breasts can be substituted for the turkey; you'll just need to cook them longer, depending on the cut.
