Cranberry Turkey

The recipe I found called for chicken breasts but I used turkey cutlets instead. It was so good that my family promised not to call me Queen of Burnt Dinner anymore!

Ingredients:
4 turkey cutlets (or chicken)
1 T. cooking oil
1 c. sweetened dried cranberries
1/2 c. apple juice
1/2 c. chicken broth
1/4 c. flour
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
1 T. Dijon mustard

Combine cranberries, apple juice, and broth in a small bowl. Set aside. In large Ziplock, mix flour, salt and pepper. Toss meat into bag and shake well until covered. Heat oil in skillet; add meat and cook for five minutes on each side. Remove meat to a plate and keep warm. Pour cranberry mixture into the hot pan and mix in with bits already in pan. Reduce heat to low and stir in mustard. Add meat back to pan. Cook another 10 minutes until sauce is thickened.

I can see this being a post-holiday favorite - a way to get rid of leftover turkey meat. Just leave out the step where the meat needs to be cooked and voilà!
