Barbecued Turkey Sandwich Recipe




Ingredients:

1 lb turkey breast cutlets
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1/4 tsp salt, (optional)
2 tsp nondiet tub-style margarine or butt
1 tsp olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 small green pepper, chopped
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup water
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp dry mustard
1 pinch ground cloves
4 English muffins, split and toasted


Instructions:

Place each turkey cutlet between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Working from
the center to the edges, lightly pound with the flat side of a meat mallet
or the back of a large, heavy spoon to 1/4-inch thickness. Remove the
turkey from the plastic and sprinkle with the thyme, black pepper and salt
(if using).
Melt the margarine or butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Cook the turkey for 2 minutes per side, or until tender and cooked
through. (Do not overcook.) Cover and set aside.
In a 4-cup glass measure, mix the oil, onions, green peppers and garlic.
Cover with a piece of wax paper. Microwave on high power for a total of 3
to 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are almost tender; stop and stir
after 2 minutes.
Stir in the ketchup, water, Worcestershire sauce, sugar, mustard and
cloves. Cover and microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the vegetables
are tender.
Pour the sauce over the turkey in the skillet. Stir until the turkey is
coated Spoon the turkey mixture over the English muffin halves.
This recipe yields 4 servings.
Comments: We took classic barbecued pork and replaced the meat with turkey
to create a family favorite that'll meet today's healthy eating
guidelines. Serve the barbecued turkey on toasted English muffins, as
we've done here, or use toasted hamburger buns or kaiser rolls.
