Pepper Crusted Turkey (Or Chicken) Cutlets With Chutney Sauce image

Having tried lots of different recipes through adventure, events and tag games, I now find myself with a pantry full of condiments and spices that I like but don't use very often. That has recently lead me to find new dishes which are simple, healthy and take advantage of these ingredients. This originated from a turkey recipe website and includes my modifications. Though I prefer it with turkey, it works well with chicken cutlets. Preparation includes 30 minutes to chill the poultry. This recipe is 4 pts per serving.

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon mixed peppercorns
1 lb turkey breast cutlets (4 4oz portions)
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 scallions, divided (see instructions below)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced or grated
1/4 cup fat free chicken broth or 1/4 cup turkey broth
2 tablespoons brandy
6 tablespoons mango chutney

Steps:

  • Crush peppercorns with a mortar with pestle or in a spice grinder until coarse. (If you have neither, place the peppercorns in a plastic ball and gently crush them with a rolling pin.) Pat peppercorns on both sides of turkey cutlets. Wrap cutlets flat in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
  • (Note: If you are using chicken, pound to even thinness prior to crusting them with pepper. ).
  • In large non-stick skillet, over medium heat, saute poultry in olive oil 4 to 5 minutes per side or until no longer pink in center. Remove cutlets from pan and keep warm.
  • Combine the broth, ginger and 3 tablespoons of finely minced scallion bottoms (white and light green part) together and put into the skillet. Stir scraping the bits from the pan. Cook for just a minute.
  • Add the chutney and brandy and cook until warmed. If you like, you can chop the mango chunks in the chutney in advance.
  • Plate each cutlet and place one quarter of sauce on top. Garnish with a small sprinkle of chopped scallion greens (tops).
