　　Chicken fatigue? Turkey cutlets require little cooking time and provide a tender platform for a deliciously garlicky sauce with toasted almonds.

　　

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

　　3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar

　　1 large garlic clove, finely chopped

　　1/4 teaspoon dried hot red-pepper flakes

　　3/4 teaspoon salt

　　1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

　　1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted

　　1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro

　　1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

　　1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

　　4 (1/4-inch-thick) turkey breast cutlets (about 1 1/4 lb)

　　

Step 1

Whisk together vinegar, garlic, red-pepper flakes, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until salt is dissolved. Add 3 tablespoons oil in a slow stream, whisking until combined well, then whisk in almonds and cilantro.

　　

Step 2

Prepare grill for cooking with hot charcoal (high heat for gas).

　　

Step 3

Whisk together coriander, cinnamon, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a shallow bowl. Turn cutlets to coat in spice mixture.

　　

Step 4

Grill turkey, turning once, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes total. Transfer to a platter.

　　

Step 5

Spoon almond sauce over turkey.

　　Cooks' Note:

　　If you aren't able to grill outdoors, turkey can be cooked in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned large (2-burner) ridged grill pan over moderately high heat, turning over once, until just cooked through, about 6 minutes total.
