Recipe(tried): SWEET AND SOUR TURKEY BREAST

Sweet and Sour Turkey Breast:

Unwind by preparing an easy Chinese dinner. Thinly sliced turkey cutlets make the main dish really easy.

2 cups water
1 cup long-grain white rice

1 pound turkey breast cutlets (about 1/4" thick)
1 tablespoon unbleached flour
1 teaspoon oil
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

In a 2-quart saucepan over high heat, bring the water to a boil. Stir in the rice. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed. Let stand for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

Meanwhile, dredge the turkey in the flour to coat lightly. Heat the oil in a large no-stick frying pan over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the turkey, working in batches if necessary. Cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until lightly browned.

Reduce the heat to medium. In a bowl, whisk together the vinegar, orange juice, honey, tomato paste, garlic powder and pepper. Pour over the turkey. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes or until the sauce is slightly thickened. If it becomes too thick thin with a little water.

Serve the turkey over the rice.
