TURKEY CUTLETS WITH SPRING ONIONS AND PEAS
1 lb. (1/4-inch thick) turkey breast cutlets 1 cup nonfat buttermilk 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper 1/4 tsp. paprika 2 Tbsp. olive oil, divided use 6 oz. fresh mushrooms with stem, sliced (about 2 cups) 1 bunch of green onions cut (about 1/4 inch pieces) 1 cup fat-free reduced-sodium chicken broth 1/2 cup white wine (or 1/3 cup apple juice with a splash of apple cider vinegar) 1 cup peas, fresh or frozen 1 tsp. freshly grated lemon peel 1/2 tsp. dried thyme or rosemary Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Place turkey cutlets in a shallow bowl and add buttermilk. Let sit for 15 minutes or refrigerate up to 2 hours.
Meanwhile, in a shallow dish, whisk flour, salt, pepper and paprika.
TO COOK: Dip each cutlet in the mixture, coating both sides.
Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add cutlets, cook until lightly brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer cutlets to a platter, cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
Add the remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to pan. Over medium-high heat, add mushrooms and onions. Stir frequently until mushrooms are browned and onions are softened, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add broth and wine (or substitute), stirring occasionally until sauce starts to reduce, about 3 minutes.
Stir in peas, lemon peel, dried spices and pepper. Return cutlets to the pan and cook until cutlets are heated through, about 3 minutes. Serve.
