Ingredients

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 pound turkey cutlets
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 clove garlic, minced
2 scallions, trimmed and chopped
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons frozen orange-juice concentrate, thawed
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

Preparation

Combine flour and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge turkey lightly in the flour mixture.
Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook turkey until the outside is slightly browned and the inside is no longer pink, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to plates or a platter and keep warm.
Add garlic and scallions to the pan and sauté for 1 minute. Add water, orange-juice concentrate, soy sauce and hoisin, bring to a boil, stirring. Spoon the sauce over the turkey.

Tips & Notes

Note: Hoisin sauce is a dark brown, thick, spicy-sweet sauce made from soybeans and a complex mix of spices. Look for it in the Asian section of your supermarket and in Asian markets.
