I subbed chicken cutlets because they were in the house. The recipe is a show stopper and delicious. I used regular barley which take 45 minutes but I was doing other things anyway.

I had hopes for this dish, and it more than exceeded them! We NEVER eat turkey, and the turkey we do eat is of the boring, Thanksgiving or otherwise tasteless variety. But since we're trying to eat more low-cal, thought I'd give this a try. We could not find quick-cook barley--not even in the hot cereal section--but that was not a deal-breaker. I was afraid to make the quantity of brussel sprouts--seemed to be way too much, but it turned out to be just right. Cutlets are easy to cut from breast, and you can quickly see how online. The simple salt + pepper seasoning was amazingly good (I was liberal, the 5-minutes cook time right on the money, and lemon/tomato sauce at the end is really the star of the turkey show! The only thing I would change is to NOT add in the 1/4 cup of water to the chicken broth... maybe it's because I did not have quick-cook barley, but the liquid was BARELY absorbed in time for dinner. This would be just as good with chicken, I think. A keeper!
