• Cook Time: 15 minutes
• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Total Time: 30 minutes
• Servings: 4

Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 1 cup apple cider
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 pound turkey cutlets

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Turkey Cutlets:

   • In a shallow pan, combine the all-purpose flour, dried thyme, dried marjoram, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper, and cayenne.

2. Dredge the Turkey:

   • Lightly dredge the turkey cutlets in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Discard any excess flour mixture.

3. Cook the Turkey:

   • In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
   • Add half of the turkey cutlets to the skillet and cook until they are golden brown on the outside and no longer pink on the inside, approximately 1 to 2 minutes per side.
   • Transfer the cooked turkey cutlets to a plate and tent them with foil to keep them warm.
   • Repeat the process with the remaining turkey cutlets, using another teaspoon of olive oil if needed.

4. Prepare the Dijon Cider Sauce:

   • In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
   • Add the finely chopped shallot to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 1 minute.
   • Pour in the apple cider (or juice) and add the Dijon mustard to the skillet.
   • Bring the mixture to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
   • Allow the sauce to simmer until it is reduced by half, which should take approximately 4 minutes.
   • Stir in any accumulated juices from the cooked turkey cutlets.
   • Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

5. Serve:

   • Arrange the cooked turkey cutlets on serving plates.
   • Spoon the warm Dijon cider sauce generously over the turkey cutlets.
   • Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful flavors!
