Diabetic Recipe of the Week: Orange Balsamic Turkey

Makes: 4 servings
Serving Size: 4 oz. turkey, about 1Tbsp. sauce
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 17 minutes
Ingredients
3/4 cup fat-free, lower-sodium chicken broth
3 Tbsp. no-sugar added orange marmalade (or peach or apricot)
2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. cornstarch
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 lb. skinless, boneless turkey cutlets
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/2 cup diced onion
1 tsp. grated orange zest
Preparation
1. In a small bowl, mix together the broth, marmalade, balsamic vinegar, mustard, and cornstarch; set aside.
2. In a large skillet heat the oil over medium heat. Sprinkle the turkey cutlets with salt and pepper. Saute the cutlets in the olive oil for 4 to 5 minutes more. Remove the cutlets from the skillet, transfer to a plate, and set aside.
3. Add the onion to the pan drippings and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes. Return the cutlets and any accumulated juices to the skillet. Simmer for 1 minute. Sprinkle the turkey with the fresh orange zest and serve.
