Orange and Fennel Turkey Breasts
Ingredients:
2 Turkey Breasts, boneless, & butterfly cut
2 Fennel Bulbs, thinly sliced perpendicular
2 Shallots thinly sliced
1/2 cup Orange Juice
1/4 cup Turkey Stock (or Chicken Stock)
2 Seedless Oranges segment cut
1/4 cup Raisins
2 Tbsp Capers
1/3 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped fine
1 tsp Cumin, ground
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Orange Zest
Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions:
- Dust the Turkey Breasts with the Cumin, and Salt and Pepper as needed.
- Heat up a large skillet on medium heat and add the Olive Oil.
- Saute the Turkey Breasts on both sides, about 3-5 minutes each (depending on thickness) until cooked through and starting to brown. Remove to the side
- In the Skillet add the Fennel and Onion and cook for 3-5 minutes, until tender.
- Add the Stock, Orange Juice, and Raisins, bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the Orange segments and simmer for another 2 minutes, stirring often but trying not to break up the segments.
- Plate the Turkey and cover with the Fennel Orange topping.
- Garnish with fresh Parsley, Capers, and Orange Zest.
Makes 2-4 servings (depending on the size of the breasts).
NOTES: I tend to use Naval Oranges for this recipe. In fact if you get two Naval Oranges for segments, and then another 2 for the Juice, it is amazing! Use fresh Zest from the Oranges, not the store-bought kind.
