Ingredients

Stuffing:

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
2 ribs celery, with greens, from the heart of the stalk, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
1 bay leaf, fresh or dried
Salt and pepper
2 cranberry orange muffins, from the baked goods section of your market
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves, a few sprigs, stems removed
1 cup chicken stock

Turkey Cutlets and Gravy:

1 1/3 pounds turkey breast cutlets, the average weight of 1 package
Salt and pepper
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter, cut in small pieces
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken stock
Chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish, optional

Directions

Stuffing: Heat olive oil and butter in a medium skillet over moderate heat. When the butter melts, add the celery, onion, and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Crumble the muffins into the pan and combine with the vegetables. Add thyme and chicken stock. Cook stuffing 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove from heat and let stand in the warm pan.

Turkey and Gravy: Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat and add the olive oil. Season turkey cutlets with salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Saute 5 minutes on each side, then transfer cutlets to a warm plate and cover plate with aluminum foil. Return skillet to stove and reduce heat a bit. Add butter, then flour to the melted butter. Cook flour and butter a minute or two, stirring with a whisk. Whisk in chicken stock. Reduce the stock 2 or 3 minutes, to desired gravy consistency. Season with salt and pepper, to your taste.

To serve, mound cranberry orange stuffing onto each dinner plate using an ice cream scoop. Rest sauteed turkey cutlets on top of the stuffing and cover the turkey with gravy. Garnish with chopped parsley.

YUMMY and EASY!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was so delicious and very easy to prepare. I'm relatively new to cooking but this recipe encourages me to cook... some more. The turkey cutlets turned out tender and delcious. I thought the stuffing was great although my husband and 8 year old daughter thought it was a little too sweet. I explained to them that there was cranberries and oranges in the stuffing but I'll try to use corn bread next time as someone else previously suggested to tame the sweetness. I actually made gravy from scratch - not from a bottle - and it was wonderful. Despite complaining about the sweetness of the stuffing, my whole family devoured all the food. This whole meal reminded me of a Thanksgiving feast and I will definitely be making this again soon!Read more

Best - and easiest - Thanksgiving Dinner ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I tried this three years ago when Rachel first showed it. My family, who had always had that traditional 20 pound with... sausage stuffing dinners, loved, Loved, LOVED it. AND they have asked for it for other occasions as well as insist this is the new tradition for out Thanksgiving dinners. NOTE: To answer those that have said the stuffing is mushy -- I have my muffins out on a plate the day before the big day so when I break them up they will be more the consistency of perhaps a good cornbread would be for stuffing. Really love, love this from beginning to delicious last drop!Read more

Great turkey recipe - we made it wheat free / gluten free
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe w/out the stuffing due to my son's wheat allergy. I made the turkey cutlet and gravy by substituting the... wheat flour with brown rice flour. Instead of the stuffing, I made homemade mashed potatoes with green beans on the side. As suggested, I put the turkey over the mashed potatoes and poured the gravy over the top. My husband, son and I love the taste and how quick and easy it was to substitute some of the ingredients. The next time I am going to try and make our own wheat free/gluten free cranberry orange muffins so we can try the whole recipe.Read more

Great Dinner!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a great dinner. It was really easy to make. My only complaint is the stuffing was a little mushy, so next time I... won't use as much stock. Read more
