The farmers’ market has almost hit that sweet spot where the folks selling fresh produce out number the ones selling crafts and gluten-filled baked goods. Lettuce was plentiful.
I got up early enough to be one of the early birds who score the asparagus and strawberries. Some Easter Egg radishes caught my eye and I found home ground cornmeal. I was assured by the farmer that it was not contaminated by wheat in any stage. He was in his eighties and knew what celiac disease and gluten meant.
A little rummaging around in the frig and I had a simple recipe to complement the huge green salad, fresh asparagus, and sliced strawberries with Divinely Decadent coconut milk vanilla bean ice cream.
The turkey cutlets are pan-seared in a little olive oil. Then 3/4 of a cup of chicken broth is added to the pan to help scrape up the browned bits. After that gets to bubbling, add 4 tablespoons of chipotle mustard or Dijon, or even honey mustard. Whisk that around in the pan until it starts to thicken and pour your simple pan sauce over the cutlets. If you have fresh herbs, throw some cilantro, or parsley or chives on there.
I used to make this sauce with a few tablespoons of cream, but I’ve been trying to cut back on the dairy and I have to say, I liked this sauce without cream and so did the family.

Sounds good Wendy. The mustard might be a little too strong for us, but I’ll give it a try.
I’m going to try a different farmer’s market tomorrow. I hope I find some great produce like you did.
I love a nice simple pan sauce like that. I did something very similar a while back over my chicken cordon bleu. Mustard, chicken broth, a little white wine… salt and pepper. I’ve never bought turkey cutlets, what a nice way to get turkey in without needing a whole bird.
Awesome! I think I’m going to borrow the idea of chipotle mustard for my salad tomorrow. I don’t have any but I think I can make it with my regular mustard or honey mustard and add the spice. Love that spice!
I found the best farmers market this weekend. So excited it’s that time of year. Can’t wait to live where it’s year round soon.
Wow. The chipotle mustard sauce sounds great. Can’t wait to try it.
That’s a great idea! I need to do more pan sauces when I cook meat. The mustard is a great agent to emulsify the sauce. Sounds delicious!
Looks yummy! I may have to give this a try after our trip. BTW, love the polish pottery.
