Dijon-Baked Turkey Tenderloins with New Potatoes & Kalamata Vinaigrette

Anytime you see a recipe involving cutlets, feel free to interchange the meat suggested with chicken, veal, pork or even turkey.  I decided to use turkey cutlets for this baked recipe—cutlets that I cut myself from one larger turkey tenderloin.  I coated the turkey cutlets in a layer of coarse grain Dijon mustard and chopped rosemary; to serve, I boiled some new potatoes drizzled with a tasty vinaigrette made with scallions, garlic, olive oil, white wine vinegar and sliced Kalamata olives.  I recommend boiling the potatoes until just tender, and then tossing them with the vinaigrette while the potatoes are still warm; that way they absorb the vinaigrette very well.

Ingredients:

  • (1) turkey tenderloin, sliced horizontally into 2 cutlets
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 teaspoons coarse grain Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 6 new potatoes, or fingerling potatoes-halved
  • For the vinaigrette:
  • 3 scallions, both ends trimmed, sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Pinch fo crushed red pepper flakes
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons white wine or red wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Season each cutlet with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a grinding of black pepper. Spread 1 teaspoon of mustard over each cutlet; divide the chopped rosemary over that layer of mustard. Arrange the cutlets on a small baking sheet (rimmed)—pour the white wine around the seasoned cutlets. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the turkey is cooked to 165 degrees and the juices run clear.
  2. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add in the halved potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a knife. Immediately toss with the vinaigrette. Serve the turkey alongside the potatoes.
  3. (To make the vinaigrette, simply whisk its ingredients together in a small mixing bowl; leave at room temperature for at least 20 minutes*)
