Ingredients
- 2 pcs (2lbs) Hayter’s Unseasoned TURKEY Breast Fillets, butterfly cut all the way through, you should have 4 oblong pieces
- 2 navel oranges
- 60ml (2 T) all-purpose flour
- 3ml (1/2 tsp) salt, divided
- 1ml (1/4 tsp) freshly ground pepper
- 250ml (1 cup) reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 15ml (1 T) canola oil
- 250ml (1 cup) white wine
- 118ml (1/2 cup) dried cranberries
- 60ml (2 T) honey
- 1 3-inch cinnamon stick (can also substitute with 1tsp ground cinnamon)
- 118ml (1/2 cup) slivered almonds, toasted, (brown slightly for 2 or 3 minutes in 1 tsp of butter).
Method of Preparation
- Zest and juice one orange. Remove the skin and white pith from the other orange, then halve and slice. Reserve zest and juice separately from the orange slices.
- Combine flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Transfer the remaining flour to a small bowl, add broth and whisk to combine.
- Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add wine to the pan and cook for 1 minute. Add the flour-broth mixture, the reserved orange zest and juice, raisins, honey, cinnamon stick, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer, return the turkey and any accumulated juices to the pan and cook, turning the breast once or twice, until minimum internal temperature is 165F/74C into the thickest part of the meat registers and the sauce has thickened, approximately 10 minutes.
- Place the turkey on a plate. Remove the cinnamon stick. Spoon the sauce over the breast and garnish with the reserved orange slices and almonds.
