Yield: 4 Servings

15 10 25

Ingredients

3 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons minced seeded jalapeno pepper
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/8 teaspoon plus 1/4 teaspoon pepper, divided
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 garlic clove, minced
1 package (17.6 ounces) turkey breast cutlets
1 tablespoon olive oil
Lemon wedges and sliced jalapeno peppers, optional

Directions

For sauce, in a small bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, jalapeno, lemon juice and peel and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; set aside.
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic and remaining pepper. Add turkey, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat.
In a large nonstick skillet, cook turkey in oil in batches over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or until no longer pink. Serve with sauce. Garnish with lemon wedges and jalapenos if desired. Yield: 4 servings (1/2 cup sauce).

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
