There was a time that we prepared this dish weekly.  It was one of our favorite meals.   How did we lose sight of what was right in front of us? In life as in food, as much things change they can stay exactly the same.

Recipe from Cook Healthy
Ingredients:
1 pound turkey breast cutlets
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
Vegetable cooking spray
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/2 teaspoon peeled, minced ginger root
1/2 cup red jalapeño jelly
1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon low-sodium Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon water

Directions:
1.  Place cutlets between 2 sheets of heavy duty plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/8-inch thickness, using a meat mallet or rolling pin.  Combine flour and pepper; dredge turkey cutlets in flour mixture.
2.  Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot.  Add cutlets, and cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until done.  Transfer to a platter, and keep warm.  Wipe drippings from skillet with a paper towel.
