Chipotle Turkey Cutlets


My adaptation of a cooking light recipe that captures the essence of a long cooking mole in under thirty minutes. the sauce is spicy rich and delicious. You might be tempted to make this hotter by adding extra chipotle but that will throw off the balance with the other spices in the dish.

Steps


Combine the first 3 ingredients.
Sprinkle turkey with mixture.
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add turkey.
Cook 2 minutes on each side or until browned.
Remove from pan.
Heat remaining teaspoon oil in pan.
Add onion and saut 3 minutes until the onions are softened and browned a bit on the edges.
Stir in the cocoa , cumin , chipotle pepper and cinnamon.
Add the vinegar , broth and tomatoes.
Cook for 3 minutes until the sauce begins to bubble.
Return the turkey cutlets to the pan spooning a bit of the sauce on top.
Cover and reduce heat.
Simmer for 15 minutes until turkey is cooked tender and the sauce has thickened.
